And have your Microsoft account locked out for "suspicious behaviour" because you won't give them your phone number.
- mooman219 3y agoAh yeah my MSFT is in a state where everything is usable except Mojang account transfers. Support was unhelpful to gracefully resolve the situation, and recommended I give up and create a new MSFT account to hold the Mojang account, which I ended up doing. So now I have several MSFT accounts to hold various Mojang accounts.
- jandrese 3y agoThat is every company these days. If you don't give them a phone number they assume you're a bot. The only people who know how to avoid this are the people who run bot farms.

- bentley 3y agoThis is exactly what happened to me three weeks after I migrated my paid Mojang account to a new Microsoft account in 2019 or so. Haven’t played Minecraft since. Every so often I check. The account is still locked.
- skowalak 3y agoI wonder why they even keep the "suspicious behaviour" front. My account got locked within seconds after creating it and I had to add a phone number. Who are they trying to protect against? Scammers who bought Minecraft? I didn't even have a chance to behave suspiciously.
- ridgered4 3y agoIt is almost like it isn't about suspicious behavior at all!
- proactivesvcs 3y agoIt's an excuse they don't have to explain, citing "security reasons". It's an entirely suspicious way to run a business.
