Minecraft Account Security Guide 2026
Turn on two-step verification at account.microsoft.com/security with the Microsoft Authenticator app, add recovery options, and read the sign-in activity. Minecraft is only ever as secure as the Microsoft account underneath it. Then use the official launcher only: cape and skin download sites are a standing malware route, and an original username is worth enough to be worth stealing.
Microsoft Account Security
Minecraft uses Microsoft accounts. Securing Microsoft secures Minecraft.
- Go to account.microsoft.com/security
