why do i have to sign in every time i open the minecraft launcher

Radical Antics · Apr 3, 2022

every time i want to play minecraft i need to sign in again the first time i start the pc. with 2FA and everything this is getting tedious fast. i already logged into this pc on start up.

additionally i cannot use windows hello to sign in because it is "we had a problem authenticate you. please try again"

windows 10 is up to date

if there are any work arounds that would be appreciated

Thanks

:)

You need to select the option to not request the authentication during the authentication so you don't need to do the process again, also add the device to your trusted devices

Hi Husky_5451, I hope you're doing great out there despite the issue that you're experiencing. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regard to your concern.

If you're playing Minecraft via Minecraft Launcher kindly sign out on Minecraft Launcher then restart before signing back in.

In regards to your Xbox App please do the same by signing out and then restarting before signing back in.

Seems like it's not recognizing the license for Minecraft Launcher but not with the game Minecraft itself.

Make sure that you have the license for Minecraft Launcher by clicking "Get" in this link and make sure that you're signed in under the correct account as well: https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/store/minecraf...

Once done, sign out both on Microsoft Store App as well as Xbox App then restart your PC before signing back in then downloading the Minecraft Launcher from Microsoft Store or Xbox App.

Kindly repair the Minecraft Launcher by following the steps below:

Windows Settings > Apps & Features > Apps > Search for “Minecraft Launcher” > Advanced options > repair.

After that sign out your account on Minecraft launcher then restart your PC before signing back in.

Is it possible to play minecraft dungeons and miencraft java in the launcher (The new one) without having to change your account every time on xbox? Because in the new launcher, working with multiple Microsoft accounts has become annoying.
