Ugh. This Minecraft passkey business is related to Windows Hello which is some biometric authentication bullshit on Windows 10 and 11.
spoiler
You can just set up a PIN but I don’t want to. It feels so fishy because of the other options. Like… How the hell is Microsoft going to ask me to scan my fingerprint to play Minecraft alone on my own machine? (Thankfully there is no compatibility with the hardware to scan my face or fingerprint.)
And what else could Microsoft decide to take hostage until I give them personal info? My Outlook account that I need for everything? I hate this timeline. Suck my nuts.
Gonna try and remove Hello sign in options. And if that doesn’t work, I’ve lost my worlds.
I wish I could get organised and set up Linux and Proton mail. I’m just struggling to manage the bare minimum right now and fear getting cut off from everything if there are payment issues or some mistake
Edit: I got it to work with just a password. I still hate that I require an account and it’s linked to my Microsoft account and Xbox and Twitch are somehow involved. Someone please make something similar that hasn’t been enshittified into suck
I’m just paralysed right now. And then there’s the job of changing everything important over to the new email and not accidentally locking yourself out of stuff.
The organisation and ‘doing stuff’ part of my brain isn’t working right now
