If you created your account after Fall 2012, you are now on a Mojang account. Older Minecraft accounts have yet to be migrated. You can log in with your original username.

  • If you don’t remember the email address associated with your account, you may need to reset your password. When you do, an email will be sent to your email address. This will make it easier for you to remember the email address you used. If you have more than one email address, you should try each one until you find one that works.
  • If you have a Minecraft account that you need to migrate, you must change your email address. If you already have a Mojang account that has your new email address, please log into the account and import your existing username.
  • If you don’t have a Mojang account yet, you should consider migrating directly from the account. A Mojang account will be created with your new email address.
  • You should receive a password reset email as soon as you try to change your password. If you don’t receive it, there may be a problem.
