#Minecraft new policy for Microsoft Account

Minecraft will soon require Minecraft players to sign in with a Microsoft account by 2021, including those with the Minecraft Java Edition. As Minecraft posted on its blog, the new policy will increase the security of the player's account with two-factor authentication. Since the initiative is mandatory, players won't be able to play Minecraft without logging in on their Microsoft account. Once they use a Microsoft account to log in to Minecraft, they'll never be able to log in to their Mojang account. The company claims the removal of the bypass script is intended to “enhance security and user experience,” forcing all new installations of Windows 11 to exit setup with both internet connectivity and a Microsoft Account in place. If Microsoft moves forward with removing even the registry-level workarounds, users may be left with no official way to install Windows 11 without logging in or creating a Microsoft account. Unless a policy shift happens, it’s clear the company is fully committing to its cloud-connected, account-integrated vision for Windows — whether users like it or not.
