Wont log into the right account on my switch

SkeobBee · Jun 10, 2021

So Ive had Minecraft on my switch for a while now and Ive always used my account named no numbers or anything. I went on my xbox and logged into that same account a while ago and it added numbers to the name but it stayed the normal on my switch. Now that the 1.17 update is out I updated it like normal and now it wont login to the normal one with no numbers but on my xbox app it still shows that there are two (the one i used for my xbox and the one I use on my switch) I dont know what to do now because I cant go on the realms I was in or have my data back on the servers I played on. It will only log in to the account that I used for my xbox which i rarely used. I also had skins that I had bought that I cant get back unless I get the other account back

We recommend checking this => Minecraft for Nintendo Switch FAQ – Home. You can also sign into Microsoft account | Home to make sure everything is under control as far as your Microsoft account goes. If there aren't any issues with your Microsoft account, and the link provided wasn't helpful, it would be best to get in touch with the Nintendo Switch support for further assistance.

Let me know if this was helpful and how it goes!

My son did the same I'm not sure if it will work if you log him in then switch to your account ive feeling that wont work, it's best as the account holder to download the games as this gives access to everyone on the account as your the admin

The thing is years ago Mojang used your user name but at some point, I was switched to my email. So for years I have been logging in with my email but all of a sudden when I used my Microsoft account it logs me in but not into the right account. Not the one I paid for.

You might want to power cycle your console and then try logging in again.

Let us know how you get on.
