+Nixpkgs currently packages PrismLauncher, a fork of MultiMC, which currently does not require you, but does allow you, to obtain your own client ID. This information is provided mainly for historical interest.
-then put this in your package list
+=== Using a Microsoft account ===
+Microsoft authentication requires a client ID, which the package in Nixpkgs does not currently contain.
+[https://github.com/MultiMC/MultiMC5/blob/master/notsecrets/Secrets.cpp The MultiMC source contains instructions to create one:]
+# Register an app, following the instructions at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/develop/quickstart-register-app (make sure that you've set up a tenant as mentioned in the prerequisites)
+# Restrict it to personal accounts
+# Do *not* add a redirect URI, platform, credentials, certificates, or client secrets
+# Enable public client flows
+# Enable Live SDK support (under authentication)
+You can then override the MultiMC package to include your client ID:
+<syntaxhighlight lang="nix">
+(multimc.override { msaClientID = "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000"; })
+</syntaxhighlight>
+If you use home-manager, you can use the following snippet in your home-manager config:
 <syntaxhighlight lang="nix">
-(multimc.override { msaClientID = "REPLACEWITHYOURID"; })
+  nixpkgs.overlays = [ (self: super: {
+    multimc = super.multimc.override {
+      msaClientID = "<your application id>";
+   };
+ }
+ ) ];
 </syntaxhighlight>
