I'm doing this process now and it is a total pain due to how long their emails take to arrive.
So far I needed to:
- Reset my password
- Answer security questions I created as a kid, had no idea to the answers, had to reset them
- Finally, need a code to begin the migration
Each step requires an email confirmation or code, which takes 5-10 minutes to arrive, and for the last step, the session seems to timeout around 10 minutes. This is pretty frustrating as it has taken 30+ minutes to do, I can't imagine kids will have much patience or even understand what the purpose of this is.
- will4274 5y agoMicrosoft doesn't use security questions. IIUC then, your complaints are about Mojang's pre-Microsoft system. Then, would you consider this announcement a net positive, as it resolves the issues you described?
- Jon_Lowtek 5y ago> Microsoft doesn't use security questions. You sure about that? https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/account-billing/set-up-security-questions-as-your-verification-method-3d74aedd-88a5-4932-a211-9f0bfbab5de8 https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/account-billing/set-up-s... Edit: but yeah, the GP is probably talking about the Mojang account
- will4274 5y ago:) technically correct is the best kind of correct. Microsoft allows IT admins to use security questions for their employees in the enterprise world by config if they so choose. Microsoft doesn't use security questions for its consumer users, like Minecraft players.
- cyral 5y agoI'm describing the transition from a Mojang account to MS account, as this thread is about.
