On your mobile device, enable hotspot that your Nintendo Switch Lite knows about.
On your Nintendo Switch Lite, start Minecraft when it is not logged into a Microsoft account.
Minecraft will ask to sign in to Microsoft account with an https://aka.ms/remoteconnect url and code
Complete login procedure (2FA enabled) for this account on your mobile device.
Join a Windows 10 Bedrock host in your friends list.
Get disconnected due to poor hotspot connectivity.
Notice your account is no longer signed into the Microsoft account you previously were.
Click the Sign in with your Microsoft Account button.
REPEAT STEPS 3-9 EVERY SINGLE TIME YOU GET DISCONNECTED BECAUSE OF POOR MOBILE HOTSPOT CONNECTIVITY.
There is no reasonable explanation why the login token for my Microsoft Account is being removed because of network connectivity issues. If you don't understand how unbelievably irritated I am because of this completely obnoxious behavior by the bold and caps, I don't know what to tell you.
If I successfully login to my Microsoft Account on my Nintendo Switch user profile, it should never be signed off for any reason whatsoever without direct user interaction from myself such as hitting a "Sign Out" button.
As it stands right now, Minecraft on the Nintendo Switch is completely broken when it comes to online play via a mobile hotspot.
Also: Your Sign in with a Microsoft Account button is overlapping the Marketplace button on a Nintendo Switch Lite with GUI Scale Modifier: 0.
Also: Why is the Sign in with a Nintendo Account button only selectable when hitting left on the joystick when focus is on the Play button? (Still an issue on 1.41.1)

Having the exact same issues with not completing sign in and also purchases missing from switch account. The game is unusable at current state. What on earth happened?
