  1. Need a PIN number to add a PIN number?


    I recently tried after years to log into my Minecraft (X-box) account, and now it's asking me for a PIN that I've never used. I went to my account information to set up a PIN, in order to finally access the account and.... it's asking me for my PIN number, to set up my PIN number.

    Unfortunately that means I can't do anything after having redownloaded Minecraft as I'm unable to login there.

    I'm logged into my e-mail just fine as that only used my password.

    :)

    Need a PIN number to add a PIN number?

    Hi Ruby,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Xbox Community. I'm sorry to hear that you're having issues signing in your Microsoft account. I understand that you have an Xbox and your account is requesting for a PIN.

    If you’ve forgotten your PIN and can’t access restricted console features, follow these steps:

    When you’re prompted to enter your PIN on the console, enter any 6-digit combination three times.

    Enter your Microsoft account password when prompted.

    Select Make a new PIN.

    Enter a new PIN, and then enter it again to confirm.

    Give back to the community. Help the next person who has this issue by indicating if one of my replies solved your problem. Click Yes or No.

    Regards,

    Alvaro

    Need a PIN number to add a PIN number?

    I was not given those options. (I'm using the app on a computer)

    I had to enter my password first, in order to get to the step where it wants me to enter a PIN. All I get is that the pin is locked and I have to restart the PC to attempt again after failing to enter the correct PIN too many times. I'm not getting any options to make a new PIN.

    Limit to number of Pins?

    Ok, so I just had a friend which had 16 pins and could still add more, so it's certainly not working right for me.

    Also when I search the error code, I cannot find any solutions that work for me... I may need to make a new topic because the title for this one is misleading and I don't seem to be able to edit it for some reason.

    Hey Dragonmonters43! This post is a little old, I would suggest you make a new thread in the future so the community can help with your problem specifically.
    Here are some instructions on pinning with the Xbox one. Thanks!
