I tried to play Minecraft after a long time, and I found that I'm logged in with an unknown email address: ******@dentalmail.su. On other Microsoft sites, I'm logged in with my original email. This problem only occurs in the Minecraft Launcher and Xbox. I want to log out of this unknown email and log in with my original account. However, I don't know how to log out. It keeps showing a window that forces me to log in, and I can't perform any other operations. There doesn't seem to be a way to log out from that window. At least, I can't see one. I want to play games with my friends but I can't. I've already kept my friends waiting for almost a week, and I don't really know what to do. At first, I thought about deleting the Minecraft Launcher. However, even though I definitely purchased Minecraft a few years ago, my purchase history doesn't show up in Minecraft, so it seems difficult to delete the launcher. Since this problem is also occurring in the Xbox app anyway, I don't think deleting the launcher would solve it... Is there anyone who can help me?

    Hello there Saneung,

    Here’s what you can do to log out of the Minecraft Launcher and Xbox app:

    1. Sign out from Xbox app first Open the Xbox app, go to Settings > Account, and click Sign Out. This will disconnect the Microsoft account linked to Xbox services.

    Clear Minecraft Launcher account cache Close the launcher, then navigate to: C:\Users\<YourUsername>\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft Delete the folder named launcher_accounts.json. This file stores login credentials for the launcher.

    Restart the Minecraft Launcher When you reopen it, it should prompt you to log in again. Use your original Microsoft account credentials.

    Check Microsoft Store/Xbox settings Make sure you’re signed in with your correct account in the Microsoft Store and Xbox settings. If the wrong account is cached there, sign out and sign in with the correct one.

    Optional: Reset the Launcher If the issue persists, go to Settings > Apps > Minecraft Launcher > Advanced Options > Reset. This clears all cached data without uninstalling the game.

    After these steps, you should be able to log in with your original account and see your purchase history.

    Regards,

    Rez
