Minecraft's account migration to Microsoft is currently in progress, but some players aren't completely satisfied. Mojang claims that the change will increase security and offer more safety features. However, some accounts are locked out. This is a required move.
MINECRAFT SERVERS
The migration was first revealed in the last month and is primarily security-focused. For instance, you can use two-factor authentication once you make the swap. As as of March 10, however, you'll need to migrate your account to continue playing Minecraft and has caused a bit of upset with some players.
Minecraft content creator Docm77 describes the account migration as the "biggest mistake in the history of Minecraft" on Twitter. The reason is that "If you have more than one account you're required to make a Microsoft account for each". This issue can lead to your Microsoft account being blocked due to certain terms-of-service stipulations. Although this isn't something that every Minecraft player will face, it presents problems for content creators as well as those who just enjoy playing the game, as they might require more Microsoft accounts. When it comes to social media, there are several reports from players who are having issues making the jump.
If you haven't migrated your account but it's good news that it's simple to accomplish, and you can learn how to migrate your account here. It might not seem like an issue for many players due to the popularity of Xbox Game Pass. Most of us have Windows installed, so it shouldn't matter much to them that you can use that to launch Minecraft Launcher when they want.
The account migration is happening ahead of the Minecraft The Wild release date scheduled for some time this year. Check out the guide at the link to learn all about it.
