I can't connect to the launcher since my migration

Hello, I have a problem with migrating my account. I've migrated my minecraft account to a microsoft account a few hours ago and since I try to go on minecraft it asks me for my password and strangely it doesn't work by writing me "Invalid email address or password. If you already migrated your account, please go back and sign in with Microsoft."

Using:

Linux Mint 19.3

Since today the launcher does not accept my microsoft account.  As I can login to the mail website, it is clearly an error in the launcher.  Since I migrated my account from Mojang to microsoft, the game HAS worked.

The launcher hung when I started it.  I deleted (renamed) my .minecraft folder, after which the launcher did not accept my credentials anymore.

This problem occurs in the launcher version in the repository (2.1.9618) as well as in the downloaded newest Debian version 2.2.3963.

Furthermore, if I start it with the command

minecraft-launcher -h

it shows a segmentation fault.

Of course, I rebooted my machine after this problem, without any change.

Martial Duret, The screenshot clearly shows that you are trying to login with a Mojang account (now nonexistent). Please read this moderator comment.

Make a 'New' account with microsoft on the launcher. And write down the same login stuff you used to migrate your account. Follow the instructions that follows after thatand you have your account back. This worked for me.

So, I found another launcher in directory ~/.minecraft/launcher with the same version as the downloaded .deb file, but differing in contents as shown by cmp -l

The version in the /launcher subdirectory runs and remembered my (Microsoft) credentials.  The game runs.

It more or less seems that the downloaded .deb file with version 2.2.3963 is corrupt/the wrong executable for Ubuntu/Linux Mint...

However, my problem is solved.

In hindsight you are of course completely right.  However, when I wrote my first comment, it seemed this thread was exactly the right topic.  Only after more research by me (and some luck) I discovered the launcher differences.  I still don't know what exactly happened.  Still, if my contribution was misplaced, I apologize.

Apology isn't necessary. Comments like yours often get overlooked or even ignored otherwise. Additional comments aren't seen as another bug to be solved. There's no thread per se just duplicate reports. Plus you are using a different operating system than the original reporter. And here's the Bug Tracker Guide.
