How do I get my old email back?

Hi Ryan! My name is Darhyl and I’d be more than happy to help you with your query.

I'm sorry you are experiencing this with your forgotten email address.

According to the official Xbox website: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/account-profile/manage-account/forgot-microsoft-account-solution Kindly perform the following workarounds to locate the email address linked to your Microsoft account:

Note: The solution to this issue may take a lot of steps.

"Go to xbox.com and try signing in with the email address that you think is associated with your Microsoft account.

If you can sign in, the email address and password you entered are valid. The gamertag that’s associated with this email address will be displayed in the upper-right corner of the screen.

If you can’t sign in, check your other email inboxes for messages about your Xbox subscription or Xbox offers. This may help you determine which email address is associated with your Xbox profile.

Note: Think back to when you created your Microsoft account. Were you using a different internet service provider for email at the time?

If you’re part of an Xbox family group, have an organizer (adult account) look up your account info with the Xbox Family Settings app.

Note: This step only works if you’re set as a member of the Xbox family group. Organizers can’t review the account info of other organizers in a group.

Steps for the organizer:

Open the Xbox Family Settings app on their mobile device.
Choose the member whose account info isn’t known.
Select the Info bubble next to the user’s gamertag.
Review the info under Account email for the Microsoft account that’s associated with their Xbox profile."

Thank you for your kindness and understanding! Please feel free to let me know if you need anything else.

Best Regards,
Darhyl

Hi there.

Thank you for reaching out to the forum. Check this guide on how to recover your account password.

• Reset or recover your lost Microsoft account password

Your old Gamertag should be blocked for 30 days after the change.

So do not tell anyone about it and remember the date to change it back.

Hopefully it wasn't an old Gt with more than 12 characters, cause it's impossible to get those old Gts back.

As mentioned above, I think you will not get a refund cause it's your responsebility, to take care of your account !

Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

My name is welcome to the community.

Hello Joshua, if your account was hacked there are two ways to try to recover it, the first is through the account recovery form below, and the second is by contacting Xbox support and requesting an ACT (Account Takeover).

whatever happens on your account is your responsibility, does not matter who did it. get your friend to pay up and then hope your old tag has not been taken.
