How to Secure a Minecraft Account

  1. 1

    Access Outlook

    Sign in at outlook.com. If prompted, get the code from the seller.

  2. 2

    Access Microsoft Account

    Click on your profile picture and select “My Microsoft account”.

  3. 3

    Clear Devices

    Under “Microsoft account”, remove any devices linked to the account by viewing details and selecting “Remove”. Double-check to ensure devices are removed.

  4. 4

    Update Security

    • Click on “Security” then “Advanced security”. You might need another code from the seller.
    • Add new security methods. Add two emails and use the Microsoft Authenticator app.
    • Monitor here for suspicious activities.
    • Remove the seller's security methods.
  5. 5

    Generate Recovery Code

    While still in security settings, navigate to the bottom of the tab and select “Generate a new code”. Save this recovery code securely with your account details — it's vital for regaining access if lost. Above this, ensure you click “Sign out” to disconnect from all devices, eliminating any seller access.

  6. 6

    Password Update

    Change the Microsoft (and thereby Minecraft) password.

  7. 7

    Update Email Aliases

    • Add a new email alias, make it the primary email alias and remove all old ones.
    • Ensure the seller is logged out of the email on outlook.com and minecraft.net.

Additional Tips

  • Confirm you've received the correct in-game name and any expected capes.
  • Check servers for undisclosed ranks/bans.
  • Under “Your info” modify the account's name and profile information.
