"You need to authentificate to Microsoft services." error while joining external Minecraft PE servers
Every time when Im trying to join to external Minecraft server (Minecraft Bedrock Edition 1.16.201 for IOS) there is an "You need to authentificate to Microsoft services." issue. At first, I tried to turn on and then off the double security parameter in my Microsoft account on Microsoft.com and it helped, but about 20 days later the issue appeared again and this time nothing helped. Can you please give me the instructions how to fix this error?
Version: Minecraft Bedrock Edition 1.16.201 for IOS and earlier
Device: iPad
Tried: +) Log out of my Minecraft account and then log in;
+) Change Microsoft security parameters;
+) Download Microsoft Authentificator and sign is.
Please, help me to fix this issue, I can't play on servers at all!

Added affects versions: 1.21.0



are you signed in?
Sure, I sign out and in again, so now Im signed in
Your Minecraft version is outdated. Does the issue still occur if you update to 1.18.0?
So, you think the issue will not occur never again if I update my mcpe to 1.18?
I can't guarantee that updating to 1.18 will permanently fix the issue. You don't have to update if you don't want to, but if you choose to not update, I will unfortunately have to resolve this ticket as Invalid because we only accept bug reports for the latest version of the game.
Oh, ok, thank you for suggestion, I will try...

I apologize for the late response but updating did not solve the problem. I still get the same error whenever I try to join MC Bedrock servers (iOS device).
