Mojang account use email as username
A blast from the past!
Yes, you're correct. When Mojang (the company behind Minecraft) first launched their online store and account system, they allowed users to use their email address as their username. This was a unique feature at the time, as most online services required a separate username and password.
However, in 2014, Microsoft acquired Mojang and took over the Minecraft franchise. As part of this acquisition, Microsoft introduced some changes to the account system, including the requirement for a separate username and password.
If you created your Mojang account using your email address as your username, you may have received an email from Microsoft in 2014 asking you to create a new username and password. If you didn't respond to this email, your account may have been locked or suspended.
To access your account, you'll need to create a new username and password. You can do this by following these steps:
- Go to the Minecraft.net login page and click on "Forgot password".
- Enter your email address and click "Reset password".
- Follow the prompts to create a new password and username.
- Once you've created a new username and password, you can log in to your account and access your Minecraft profile and game data.
Note that if you're having trouble accessing your account, you may want to contact Microsoft support for assistance.
