Need help recovering minecraft and microsoft account

John Psaltis1 · Jul 6, 2023

Hello, I made this question earlier but I didn't seem to get any help. First of all I am pretty sure I had migrated my minecraft account to my microsoft account like a few months ago. On the 29th of June I was playing on a minecraft server when I got invited to a discord server, the discord server wanted my email to verify that I was a player on the server. The bot just asked me my email and username, nothing else, it was also a Discord GUI that popped up for that so I don't think anybody could steal it by that. I did that, the verification wouldn't go through, after a few seconds I was kicked from Hypixel, I couldn't join back but I could join in other servers. I restarted the game, and I couldn't join ANY servers. After a bit, I couldn't even launch the game anymore. I freaked out, and I tried to log in to my minecraft account to change my details. I couldn't log in, my microsoft account did not exist anymore, and whenever I tried to log in with a mojang account it says that it was migrated to a microsoft one, the thing is my microsoft account got completely erased. I couldn't log in to my minecraft or microsoft account from anywhere. Something I found out a little later is that on the 27th of June my minecraft username was somehow changed with the difference being 1 letter than my original, I am not sure how I was able to play on a server with the original name even though it was changed 2 days ago. I made a new microsoft account now with the same email as my original one and I am sending this from there. You should know that if you go to https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...=&threadType=All&isFilterExpanded=true&page=1 You can see a LOT of people having the exact same problem as me, so I believe that this is some bug or glitch and not anything malicious but I am not sure. One last thing to note is that it looks like the user name "John Psaltis" is already taken even tho my original account got deleted which I am pretty sure had that name.

Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

My name is welcome to the community.

Hello Catdotexe, I'm sorry about what's going on, but in situations like this even Xbox support can't help you, simply because there are no references to your account, you really have to try to remember the Microsoft email you created to be able to migrate.

As you saw yourself, in the account recovery form you need to know the Email, phone, or Skype name to be able to recover the account.

Hello John, this is Manuela. I'm an Independent Advisor and community user like you, ready to assist with this.

Based on your post description, it seems that your account has been compromised. In situations like these, the recommended action is trying to recover the account by using the Microsoft interactive guide below:

https://support.microsoft.com/account-billing/h...

As a reminder, please notice that no one at Microsoft can view or change the account details for you, this is for security policies.

Lastly, I encourage you to never enter or share your email address on sites that are not official, this is to avoid potential data leaks or attempts or account takeover.

Hi Georges,

Thanks for the fast reply.
Is there really no other way to recover my account?
I have all the proof of me owning the Minecraft account, old logins for it, proof of migration from Microsoft, everything but the Microsoft login.

Is there no way for anyone to perhaps search for my account within Microsoft, if they have any records of Minecraft to Microsoft accounts? Any possible way I can search for the Xbox account I made when migrating, as I know my name and what profile picture I set for that, just not my gamertag numbers?

I've tried to guess and remember my Microsoft email, but nothing comes up. I'm just losing hope that I'll ever be able to recover my account at all.

Hello again, as this forum is public viewing and unfortunately as independent consultants we do not have access to more relevant data, and in cases like this it is not possible to recover or log in by Gamertag.

Try checking with a friend or family member which email you used to create your account.

I did try, but I migrated my Minecraft account to this Microsoft account, and I don't need to recover it. I need to restore Minecraft itself on my account because it's not working on my account!
