Help CenterMaking use of a Minecraft Account is really easy. If you've purchased an Account product-type, you've obtained a username with a password, and the access to its' account-tied Email Address. To activate your Minecraft Account, please follow these steps:
- Download the Minecraft Launcher from the Microsoft Store, or from the official Minecraft website. Make sure to download it only from these official sources.
In some cases, Microsoft Store may ask you for a PIN. Insert the same one you are using to turn on your PC. - Launch the Minecraft Launcher. When logging in, use the ‘Microsoft login’ option and enter the Minecraft account details you received (login: and password:)
- When prompted for a verification code, enter your purchased accounts' email address and click “Next”.
