Q: I can not login with my Microsoft account. How do I login?
A:
First off you have to have bought Minecraft Java Edition. Minecraft Windows 10 Edition (bedrock) is not the same and will not work. https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/store/minecraft-java-edition
Download the beta from the release page and you will have Microsoft (MS) login as an option: https://github.com/gorilla-devs/GDLauncher/releases windows os use: GDLauncher-win-setup.exe to install or GDLauncher-win-portable.zip
Windows since people don't know how to read... https://github.com/gorilla-devs/GDLauncher/releases/download/v1.1.0-beta.2/GDLauncher-win-setup.exe
In %appdata%\gdlauncher_next folder replace rChannel file with this one. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/422172396502515715/795785466933936208/rChannel
After your logged into GDL, go into the settings (gear icon top right) and change the release channel to beta. If you don't do this it will revert to the stable build that currently does not have MS login.
MS accounts under 18 will get "Error occurred while fetching token from Xbox Secure Token Service" when trying to login on 3rd party launchers atm with the current login system being used by them. Possible workaround is having an adult setup family group (unconfirmed) https://account.microsoft.com/family/about
Microsoft accounts without a linked Xbox profile will also get "Error occurred while fetching token from Xbox Secure >Token Service". Sign in to your Microsoft account and create one here. https://account.microsoft.com/profile Down at the bottom click the Xbox profile

Describe the bug When attempting to sign in to GDLauncher through Microsoft, I receive the message "Error: Error occurred while fetching token from Xbox Secure Token Service." I am not able to progress past the login screen. To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Expected behavior I expected to, upon going through the Microsoft Sign in dialog, be logged into the client and be able to use it. However, upon completing the dialog, I am instead brought to a brief loading screen and kicked back out into the login screen with the error message. Possible solutions Someone recommended I try a "bleeding-edge" build of the client through the options and see if the bug was fixed there; however, I cannot access client options from the login screen. Maybe there is simply some issue with Microsoft's servers right now, but I logged into the official Minecraft client not too long before. I also don't know if there are newer "beta" builds I could build from source on GitHub, but it doesn't appear that way.

Operating System:
Additional context I am unsure if this is a problem exclusive to Linux or if this also occurs on WIndows. I would assume that it is a Linux-specific issue, however.
