    Why am i being asked to use windows passkeys on a macOS system


    I'm trying to sign into my microsoft account on minecraft on my macbook. It opens up a page and prompts me to put in my email, and upon doing that it says that its going to open a security window where i input my face, fingerpring, pin, or security code; it then just buffers and loads and nothing happens which makes sense because its trying to open a windows window on a mac. How can I just use my password and not go through all this.

    :)

    XBOX ONE SETTING ADULT TIME LIMITS

    What part of being able to set screen time limits on one account, with a simple passkey code is confusing?

    Since the passkey code is used for purchases, and access to games on the system why cant it be used to set screen limits.

    It would be advisable to review the Settings - Account - Sign-in, security & passkey section on both consoles for the profile being used to ensure that applicable settings are in place to prevent issues of that profile being used in multiple locations or
    unauthorized purchases. Select Change my sign-in & security preferences and I recommend using Customize to set the specific type of access that you wish to allow/disallow, items to check/adjust for example are:

    • Delay automatic sign-in
    • Ask for my passkey at sign-in
    • Ask for my passkey to change settings
    • Ask for my passkey to make purchases (definitely recommended to use Passkey required to avoid unauthorized purchases)

    Good luck!

    Game Refund

    I am asking for anyones help/advice again on this topic. The refund team keeps denying me a refund on a game I can't play that I purchased by accident. I purchased the windows version by accident instead of the xbox. I can't play windows games having
    MacOS (no I don't have a windows emulator).
