Hi, I am Mariano, an independent advisor from the Microsoft-Xbox community. I am sorry you are going through this issue, let us try to fix it

What you need to do is sign out of all devices from your Microsoft account. This automatically invalidates all active tokens, including the one that was stolen from you.

Steps to protect your account:

1. Change your Microsoft password immediately:

https://account.microsoft.com/security

2. Sign out of all devices (this will revoke the stolen token):

Sign in here: https://account.microsoft.com/

Go to Security > Sign in to your account > Sign out of all devices (if this option appears). Or, just changing your password will force all active tokens to expire.

3. Enable two-step verification:

https://account.microsoft.com/security > Two-step verification

4. Reinstall Minecraft and remove any suspicious mods.

Make sure to delete any unofficial mods or launchers.

If the issue continues, just let me know. Otherwise, feel free to close this question. Thanks and have a nice day.

Yes, I have changed my password and continue to check my account. There is no way for them to get caught using a stolen xbox is there?

Hi Eben. The best option in this case would be try recovering the account using the online recovery form.

To protect customer privacy, Microsoft can only help customers verify their account ownership through the online password recovery process.

If you remember any new details that might help with the recovery process, it's encouraged to keep trying to recover your account using the online account recovery form.
