I am having the exact same problem with except it’s been three months since the mob vote
Microsoft sign in not working with Minecraft for Nintendo Switch (SOLVED)
Recently I have been trying to sign into my Microsoft account on Minecraft for Nintendo switch, however when I go to https://aka.ms/remote connect and put in the code given, I will put in my password and will be signed into my Xbox account as well but when I go back to minecraft and try to sign in again the same thing will happen. Like a repetitive cycle, no matter how many times I put in the code and 'sign in' I won't actually be signed in on my switch. I don't believe it's a problem with my Nintendo online either because I still have at least 4 days left until it expires. This also only started happening after the Mob Vote for Minecraft so I'm wondering if it's because of an influx of users or maybe I just need to wait longer?
Edit:
Hey guys,
I think I may have figured it out for myself. Its been like this since the mob vote, however, I was only able to fix it for the times when i wanted to play, after that it kept happening so my sign in was only temporary.
Pretty much all I did was go to the link on a different device than my phone 😭. My phone is a Nokia 2.3 and its pretty old and when I had gone to the website using it, it never really worked, yet when I had used my laptop (which i got after the mob vote) or my brother's IPhone it would work.
To be fair though I'm not sure if this will still work for me because I haven't been using my switch that much since i originally posted this thing. Other than that if using an up-to-date device doesn't work then I think that it's just microsoft being buggy, like it usually is for gamers.

The problem may be occurring because of Mob Vote, try logging in again later and see if the problem persists.
If the problem persists, I recommend contacting Minecraft support as you are having problems with the Nintendo Switch version:
