yes - login is required by the user iirc. You need a microsoft account to play minecraft (and i believe they recently migrated all old mojang accounts to microsoft now?)
- ridgered4 4y agoYou'll also need to provide a phone number, with the usual BS of the requirement appearing after you've migrated suddenly for "security reasons". They know people would bail on the conversion if they made this requirement so instead they take your account away and hold it ransom until you cough up the goods.
- Handytinge 4y agoOh, this is common practice? I noticed the account was suspended a few days after creation for "ToS violation" - requiring phone verification to reactivate - and have so far spent hours of supports and my time hunting down the why.
- xahrepap 4y agoYes. They are forcing them all to migrate to Ms accounts.
- Akronymus 4y agoIt used to be "Migrate voluntarily and get a free cape, we will never force you to migrate" So much for that.
