  1. My account doesn't exist and exists at the same time.


    I have been using my cousin's Minecraft account/Microsoft account for quite a while. Today, it suddenly stopped working. It said that my account didn't exist, but when I tried making a new account, it said it already existed. My cousin did not change anything regarding the Microsoft account. What should I do?

    :)

    My account doesn't exist and exists at the same time.

    Thanks for your help Darhyl, but these workarounds didn't work as the password changer required my email, but my email was the problem. Its been years since I started using this account and nothing ever happened. I checked my spelling etc.

    My account doesn't exist and exists at the same time.

    Hi there! My name is Darhyl and I’d be more than happy to help you with your query.

    I'm sorry you are experiencing this with the Microsoft/Minecraft account.

    Based on the error message you provided, kindly try to perform the following workarounds according to this article: https://windowsreport.com/microsoft-account-doesnt-exist/

    "1. Check if the account name was typed correctly.

    It is possible sometimes that, the account name was misspelled. Double-check if you typed it incorrectly.
    If the account name was typed correctly, maybe the email address is incorrect or has been changed recently.
    Make sure that your email has the correct domain at the end: @gmail.com, @outlook.com, @live.com, etc.
    Try to log in using your old email address or phone number if they were changed.

    2. Find your account name from your Windows 10 PC or Xbox.

    Click on the Start button on the left side of your Taskbar, and select Settings.
    Head over to Accounts, then Email & accounts.
    Check your Microsoft account names under Email & accounts.
    Another method would be to open any Office 2016 or 2019 app and create a new document.
    Click on the top left corner where it says File, then select Account.
    You can see your Microsoft account name under User information or in the Product information section.
    One last method would be to sign in to your email associated with your Microsoft account.
    Then, check for previous emails from Microsoft.
    The previous emails from Microsoft will show your account name.

    3. Make sure you’re using the correct account type.

    An account that your workplace or school provided may not have a Microsoft account associated with it. So, you might need to create a new Microsoft account.
    Normal accounts can be used for logging in for one or more services, such as Outlook or Microsoft 365.

    Work or school accounts, however, cannot be used to connect to other Microsoft services, such as Xbox. Additionally, an Xbox Gamertag cannot be used to sign in to a Microsoft account.

    The only valid ways to sign in are by using an email address, a Skype ID, or a phone number registered to the account."

    4. Your Microsoft account might have been compromised/hacked.

    From the official Microsoft article: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us...-account-24ca907d-bcdf-a44b-4656-47f0cd89c245 try to follow the instructions in the interactive tool in order to recover your account.

    Thank you for your kindness and understanding! Please feel free to let me know if you need anything else.

    Best Regards,
    Darhyl

    My account doesn't exist and exists at the same time.

    Hi there AnonymousTL0923. I am Lumie and I would love to continue to assist you today.

    I am so sorry you are having issues logging into your account.

    It seems here that you have a compromised account. Please keep in mind, this is a user forum, we are not Microsoft.

    The first idea to find your email is to directly log into your account with your phone number.

    You can find your username using this recovery tool: [https://account.live.com/username/recover] by inputting related data.

    If this does not work, you can try to look for email receipts on alternative accounts or find accounts you made be logged into on different services.

    Once you have found the new form, you can recover the account using the Account Recovery Form: https://account.live.com/acsr]

    Make sure to complete it in an area you would usually access your account from. It is important to be consistent with this form, you can complete the form twice a day everyday until your regain access to your account. Repeating this will increase your odds of recovery.

    Here are more tips to follow with the form: [https://support.microsoft.com/account-billing/b19c02d1-a782-dee6-93c3-dc8113b20c42]

    I hope this helps!

    Let me know if I can be of any further assistance. -Lumie

    I Can't Sign In

    Why can't I log into my xbox account? Every time I log in it says my account doesn't exist...I tried my other Microsoft accounts and its still saying the same thing your account doesn't exist. I don't recall deleting my account or confirming to have it
    be taken down.

    Account doesn't exist

    Hello, StiffS_258. Thanks for reaching out! My name is Lucas. I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user just like you. I'll be happy to assist you today.

    Looks like your account got hacked. I'm sorry for this. In this case, you can try to reset your account password if there is an alternative email address or phone number associated with the account:

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/account-bil...

    If the above does not work, your only option is to fill the recovery form. In the article below you can get detailed information on how to fill the form:

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/account-bil...

    The Microsoft recovery form is available on:

    https://account.live.com/acsr

    If when you try to fill the recovery form you also receive a message that your account does not exist, unfortunately you will not be able to recover your account.

    No Microsoft employee can help users recovering their accounts. They only instruct you on how to fill the recovery form. They are not allowed and have no access to change anything on a user account. I hope you understand.

    If you have any question, please let me know. And again, I'm really sorry about this.
