Can't add mircosoft account on technic launcher

[BoredSkully]

Whenever I try to add a mircrosoft account, technic launcher freezes and the only way to close the app is by using task manager to end it

and I have already migrated my account is there any way to fix this?

Set a different internet browser as your default browser, then try logging in again. If you already have your default browser open, check if a new window opened. The login process is via a browser due to how Microsoft Auth works. The launcher is "frozen" until it receives an auth token (or not) from the microsoft auth.

It worked thank you

Any advice if I'm running on Linux? I knew that being forced onto a Microsoft account would screw me over somehow.

Do you have a default browser set?

Yes, the brave browser. But I imagine the jar is looking for it in the place Windows stores it. I switched to the ATLauncher which has support for Technic Launcher packs.

I have the same problem. I try adding a Microsoft account to the technic launcher and it doesn't work. I try spamming 'Microsoft Account' and it still stays frozen. The only way for me is to force quit it.
