Minecraft Switch won’t keep me logged in to my Microsoft account

TeamMarksy · Nov 8, 2020

I came on here to post about having to log into my microsoft account every time I play Minecraft on Switch only to find hundreds of people with the same issue and Microsoft consistently shutting down the threads with no solution and a suggestion to post
with Mojang. I will do that, but lets be clear Im not having an issue logging onto a Mojang account.

I and hundreds of others am having issues signing into a Microsoft account. Even if Mojang are causing the problem, it is you who need to sort it out with Mojang for hundreds of your customers. Hopeful you can sort it out from a post on here. Have a meeting
with Mojang. I'm sure between your developers and their's you can easily resolve.

P.S. categorize this anywhere you want. I've posted it where all the others were getting shut down. Its irrelevant to your customers, they just need a solution about 2 years ago.

I have this same problem too. What a garbage platform, come on Microsoft. Love that everytime my kids open the game I have to sign them in with a laptop. FML.

I just bought minecraft for two separate Nintendo switch devices so that my daughter and i could play together. Much to our disappointment, the game will not keep our Microsoft Xbox accounts logged in, so none of our marketplace purchases will sync and we
cannot find each other to play a game.

anybody else figured out how to solve this?

Let me know if you find a solution. I too am have the same issue. Every time I close the App I have to go through the authentication process of accessing the web, entering a code, and logging into the Microsoft account.

Same here. If I close the game, I have to relog into my account everytime with a code. Not to mention it says something about using a temporary microsoft account to use your purchases...

Any luck with this? Logging in to Minecraft on Switch is completely broken. We cannot access or realm and the login process is not smooth at all.
