I am experiencing a consistent crash in Minecraft Launcher whenever I try to log in with my main account on macOS Sequoia (Apple Silicon). However, when I use a different Microsoft/Mojang account, the game launches and runs without any issues.
đ Problem Description:
Minecraft crashes only when I use my main account.
Other accounts work fine, meaning the issue is tied to my profile.
The launcher closes immediately after entering my email/password.
No error message appears in the launcher, it just exits.
Running Minecraft from Terminal (/Applications/Minecraft.app/Contents/MacOS/Minecraft) also causes it to close, but I donât understand the error logs.

I also tried signing in via my GitHub account, but that also crashes with same error.
macOS: 15.3.1 (24D70)
launcher: v3.9.23-2.2.2

Workaround appears to be remove the Passkey in your MS account for the Mac thatâs running launcher.

this workaround works for me â Remove the Macâs Passkey from the windows/xbox accountâs security settings.. đ

putting it all together, in order to login with a default Passkey, we need someone to add the BT âusageâ string to the macOS Java launcherâs Info.plist file.
Thank you for your report!
However, this issue has been temporarily closed as Awaiting Response.
Is this issue still occurring in the newest Launcher version? If yes could you write the model of the device on which it occurs as well as Launcher Build and Bootstrap number? (The numbers can be found on the bottom left corner of the Launcher or the About tab in Settings)

Same issue here.
[media]It appears the âSign in to Minecraftâ pop up is trying to access the Macâs bluetooth and is being killed by macOS due to security reasons, specifically a missing âwhy the app needs BT accessâ string in the appâs Info.plist.
Looking at my crash report it seems like the MS sign in web page uses
Chromium Embedded Frameworkwhich is trying to access the macâsIOBluetoothDeviceInquiryCould be a bug in
Chromium Embedded Frameworkor the MC Launcherâs Info.plist (probably the latter).Logâs Termination Reason:
This app has crashed because it attempted to access privacy-sensitive data without a usage description. The app's Info.plist must contain an NSBluetoothAlwaysUsageDescription key with a string value explaining to the user how the app uses this data.Attached is the crash log
