how do i sign back into my Microsoft account?

Hello Zaniah,

Thanks for posting in the Microsoft Community.

It sounds like you accidentally signed out of your Microsoft account on your Windows device, and now you're unable to access your saved game progress. This can happen if you're not signed into the same account that was previously used to save your game data.

To resolve this, please try the following steps:

1. Sign Back Into Your Microsoft Account:
   
   • Press Windows key + I to open Settings.
     
   • Go to Accounts > Your info.
     
   • Click Sign in and enter your Microsoft account credentials.
     
2. Verify Your Account:
   
   • If prompted, complete any verification steps (email, phone, or authenticator app).
     
3. Restart Your Device:
   
   • This ensures all services sync properly after signing in.
     
4. Check Your Game Progress:
   
   • Open the game and ensure you're signed into the correct Xbox or Microsoft account.
     
   • If your progress doesn’t return, check the game’s settings or support page for cloud save options.
     

If you continue to experience issues, please let me know with proper information so as to help you further

Best wishes,

Hi JensonTU, my name is Courtney and I would be happy to help.

From what I understand, you forgot your credentials for your main Xbox account, is that correct? Unfortunately we cannot help you with that here since it is a Microsoft public forum where we are all players like you who help other players but who are having basic problems such as games or console problems.

Having said that, there is an account recovery form which you must fill out with some information that you remember (The account email is mandatory). There they will verify, according to the information provided, that you are the owner of the account, therefore they will give you access again.

Form: https://account.live.com/acsr

It is the only help we can give you, I would like to be able to help you a little more, but I can't since, as I mentioned before, I am only a player like you.

I hope you understand, I wish you good luck.

Best regards,
Courtney.

Hello and welcome to our community!

We’re excited to have you here and have great conversations! I'd be happy to be of assistance.

I'm sorry to hear about this issue. Have you tried connecting your Xbox to a different network or using a wired connection to see if that allows you to sign in?

If you're able to sign in at https://account.xbox.com/en-us/Profile without any issues, then your account is fine. It’s possible that your Xbox isn't getting enough bandwidth from your internet connection, preventing it from signing in.

In the meantime, try connecting through a mobile hotspot to see if you can sign in. If that doesn't work, try using a wired (Ethernet) connection and check if that resolves the issue.

Let me know if this works. Thanks!

How do I sign back into my old account

Hi there! This is Virginia O.

I understand that you want to link your Microsoft account from your PS account but it was detected that an account is already linked.

I apologize for the inconvenienced this has caused you. I will do my best to help you.

This issue arises because the PlayStation Network (PSN) account is already linked to another Microsoft account.

To set your expectations properly, there is an important rule to remember that each PlayStation account can only be linked to one Microsoft account at a time. If your PlayStation account was previously linked basing on the error message you received, this is the one giving you a conflict even if you think you are using a new Microsoft account.

Please reach out to PlayStation Support: https://www.playstation.com/en-us/support/?coun... seek further asisstance regarding this matter. Kindly give them as much information they needed regarding the concern.
