My Mojang and Microsoft account both share the same email.

Hello Syndro, my name is Aidan. I am an independent advisor and would be happy to help. You should be able to resolve this issue by migrating your Mojang account to your Microsoft account. To do this, open the Minecraft launcher and go to the login page. There, click the "Migrate today" link in the red box. From there follow the steps, ensuring that when prompted you provide the Microsoft account which you want to use. Please let me know if you run into any issues following these steps.

Hi there Josef,

I did migrate my Mojang Account to a Microsoft Account.

I did get an email to confirm the migration went well.

The email address of my Mojang Account is the same email address than that of my Microsoft Account.

The migration took place on 20 juli 2022

Mojang has confirmed me, just before they closed my ticket, that there was no paid Minecraft Content active on my Gamertag .

Does it help that I noticed that my Gamertag on the Mojang Account was different than that of my Microsoft Account.

Both helpdesks had me run through the article you mentioned. Microsoft had me also reinstall the Minecraft Launcher.

Thank you for trying to help.

Yes it is the same account. Infact its the same email. my Mojang account uses the same email as my Microsoft account. This only started happening when Microsoft stated they would be merging accounts with Mojang.

I did the process of merging and now I no longer own minecraft.

Hi Cliff.

I know I just intruded on the discussion, but this same problem has happened to me as a result of the migration, and this exact scenario occurred. I hope Microsoft can actually bring back mine, and other's accounts. Is it possible to link my Microsoft account with my old Mojang account using my email? They share the same email so it would be simple to link it.

Thanks.

The account that is already using that gamertag should not be your Mojang account, Mojang and Microsoft do not share the same gamertag nor do they share the same naming system.

When you did the migration the original gamertag was set only for the Java game, not for the Microsoft account, and you should have created a gamertag for your Microsoft account.

The original gamertag must be being used by another Microsoft account, that is why when you want to change it, it tells you that numbers will be added, if that other Microsoft account is yours, you just have to log in with your email and password (which cannot be the same as the current account), change the gamertag and this way it will be free to be used in the new Microsoft account.
