How to move a Minecraft Account to another email (Microsoft Tutorial)

You've just purchased Personal Minecraft Account and would like to change the email address to yours, which is no easy task with no prior knowledge! That's why we will guide you through the process.

The Tutorial

Starting off, your login will be provided in Email:EmailPassword:MinecraftPassword format. This means if you would like to login to Minecraft, you'll need to use the Email and MinecraftPassword. To login to the Email address, you can go visit:

• mail.com - if the domain is @mail.com
• mail.rambler.ru - if the domain is rambler.ru
• mail.mcmfa.email - if the domain is @mcmfa.email
  • Please note that a MinecraftPassword is not provided for this domain - please login with code from email and then reset the password later to your own

and utilize the Email and EmailPassword provided to you, to login. All credentials are colon seperated.

Attention

• Before starting the process of moving the email, please login to your account on the Minecraft Launcher and make sure that it is not a demo account. If you move the email and it shows a demo after, that means you skipped a step and messed up your account. Please pay attention to the steps as we cannot do anything to fix that.

Login

To change the email of the account of your Microsoft Minecraft Account you need to start off by logging in at login.live.com using the Email and MinecraftPassword provided to you. 

• Usually, the MinecraftPassword won't work. In this case, send a code to the email address the account is on, and use that to login. After, you can just reset the password to your own.

If you're asked to provide a code, simply submit the email address and then login to your email as explained above.

Once logged in, navigate to "Security" and then hit Security dashboard.

Once in the Security dashboard, navigate to Advanced security options.

And then proceed to "Add a new way to sign in or verify", and proceed by hitting "Email a code" from which you may add an alternative email address.

Once added, you'll see your new email address and the old one. Select the old email address, and remove it from the account.

After you've done that, look at the top of your page and visit "Your info", and then click "Edit account info"

Once there, hit "add email" and then once on the "Add an alias page", hit "Add email" of which you put the new email address in, that you just put in before (the email you want the account to be on).

After doing this, you'll need to verify the email with a code, so check your email address. After verified, you may hit "make primary" and you can remove the old email.

Congrats! You're now done.

Now when you go to login, please use the email address you changed the account to instead of the one we provided to you. Enjoy your account and feel free to contact us if you run into any trouble!
