@Gordon, glad it's sorted for you 👍🏻 Gotta keep these kids happy! They'll make our lives a misery otherwise... 🤪

@Joe  - You need to be logged into the child's account.  Drag down from the top and click the cog for settings and then put in your PIN.  Then click Manage Storage - Internal Storage - Apps & Games - Minecraft.  Then click on Permissions and toggle that setting to on.  

I then did a forced stop and reboot, but that might not be required.  🤞 for you!

Following on from @clifton carey's post...

I had the same issue, not being able to get my boys back into their Minecraft accounts after buying them new Fire 10's.  Their old Fire 8's were still logged into Minecraft!

I was worried that as they were new devices, changing the app permissions to allow access to the device storage would not make any difference as the tablets had never been used to log into their accounts before.  However, when I set up the new Fire 10's I had used a backup from each of their old devices and so wondered if any previous login data might have come across from the backup.  

It seems to be the case, because after allowing the app access to storage, doing a forced stop and rebooting the tablet, I was able to get them logged into their Minecraft accounts no probs. 😃

When I was in the login process there was no indication that it was using any old data - ie, it didn't autofill or anything, so I can't say for definite that because I've used a backup to set the new tablets up has allowed me to sort it.  It may just be that allowing storage permissions deals with/gets round the problem somehow.  That said, I note @Katharine Abrahams-Munroe's post.  Has anyone with a fresh tablet managed to get logged in after enabling storage permission?
