## **How to Recover Your Minecraft Account**
#### Losing access to your Minecraft account can be frustrating, but there are several ways to recover it, whether you’ve forgotten your password, lost your email, or had your account compromised. Minecraft accounts are now managed through **Microsoft** (formerly Mojang), so recovery steps depend on whether you have a **Microsoft account** or a **legacy Mojang account**. Follow the steps below to recover your account and check the FAQs for additional help.

### **Step 1: Try Logging In with Microsoft**
Since Mojang accounts migrated to Microsoft, ensure you’re logging in with your **Microsoft email and password** instead of an old Mojang username.
- Go to the [Minecraft login page](https://www.minecraft.net/login).
- Enter your **Microsoft account email** and password.
- If you forgot your password, click **“Forgot password?”** and follow the instructions to reset it.

## **FAQs About Minecraft Account Recovery**

### **4. What if I originally bought Minecraft with a Mojang account?**
