Windows 10: Minecraft sign in asking for friend's password?

I just upgraded from windows 10 to windows 11. I am trying to get into minecraft and microsoft is asking me to sign in. I click sign in, but it autofills my friend's email address. I erase his email and put in mine, but then it asks for the security pin to his email. I have tried going to my internet browser and signing in manually, and that works. For some reason though, it doesn't transfer to the minecraft sign in. Why won't it let me sign into my account for minecraft?

• Go to Settings.
• Click on Accounts.
• Click on Sign in options.
• On the right side, you will see required sign in.
• Change it to Never.

i cant play with my friends in minecraft bedrock/windows

Hello, Kara McCullough

Welcome to the Microsoft community.

Thank you for your feedback. It looks like you're experiencing some issues when trying to play cross-platform with your friends in Minecraft. Here are some possible steps to fix it, please try the following:



Make sure you're both playing the same version of Minecraft. the Xbox and Windows versions may be different, which may prevent playing together.

Make sure you're both updated to the latest version, or at least a compatible version.

Make sure your Xbox account and Minecraft account are properly linked. You'll need to sign into your account via the Xbox app or the official Xbox website and make sure the Minecraft game is associated with your Xbox account.

Check if your friend actually has an Xbox Game Pass.Since you said she needs an Xbox Game Pass to play with you, but you're not playing the same version of the game, this could mean that she needs an Xbox Game Pass to access the same version of the game as you.

Here are some specific steps to take:



Have your friend check the status of her Xbox Game Pass subscription to make sure it's active.

On your computer, open the Xbox app and sign in to your account. Make sure your Minecraft game is launched through the Xbox app.

In Minecraft, try restarting the game and logging into your account.

Check to see if your friend is in your friends list, and if so, see if she shows up as online.

If none of these steps work, you may need to contact Xbox support or Minecraft support for more specialized help.

Hopefully, these steps will help you resolve the issue of not being able to play together. Please feel free to let me know if there are any other issues.



I look forward to your feedback.
