Tell HN: Microsoft locks migrated Minecraft accounts, requires phone to unlock
I have a 13 year old minecraft account. I've been unable to migrate it because I don't have the transaction ID. I don't have the email (I wasn't very good at managing an inbox when I was 14), and the bank that it was bought with no longer exists, even if they had more than 7 years of records retention. I told support I can provide government IDs for myself and my father (the name on the card, presumably), but I got told, basically, to get stuffed. TID or bust.<p>My only guess on what to do next is to try to find someone with an inside at Mojang to workaround the user-hostile process, but I've had no luck. If anyone knows how to workaround this, I'd appreciate it.
