Switching Microsoft Account Connected to My Minecraft Account

Hi Georges,

thank you for your answer. I disagree. The problem is with a Microsoft account within minecraft. The issue is definitely with Microsoft.

In Minecraft on switch there is a button to logout from Minecraft. When you login again, the authentication of the first Microsoft account which was logged into is prompted. There is no possibility to change the Microsoft account.

There is an additional button "Delete Microsoft account login data". If this is pressed you are asked, if you are sure. If you press yes, nothing happens. Nothing has changed with login either.

Can you help us, please?

Issue is, I connected the Switch Minecraft version with my adult Microsoft account. Now my son is old enough and I want, that he logs into the switch with his own account. But I cannot change the Microsoft login account of switch minecraft. :-(

Best

Mathias

This is not the first time I've signed into my Microsoft account for minecraft or Nintendo switch. I have tried multiple wifi connections, and the only error code it gives me is error code 500 and says xbox live cannot complete this request. I am able to log into my Microsoft account on the regular Microsoft website, just doesn't work for the website to connect it to my minecraft for nintendo switch

Hi, 0R10NS. I’m Arturo, and I’ll be glad to provide some assistance with your inquiry today.

I regret to inform you, but your Minecraft profile and purchase are linked to your mother’s account.

In general, all the content purchased and progress in games are linked to the Microsoft account used, and this content can’t be transferred to a different Microsoft account.

This may not be the outcome you expected, but in this particular situation, the options are to purchase the game on your own account or still use your mother’s account just to play this game.

Im having the same issue connecting to my Microsoft account on my switch when in Minecraft. Started 3-4 days ago and nothing has worked to resolve it.

Tried clearing account data

tried uninstalling the game and reinstalling.

tries changing passwords

nothing is working from my switch
