  1. Enhanced security options for Xbox accounts


    Xbox account security is extremely important—especially when it comes to digital purchases, cloud saves, and personal data. I would like Xbox to implement additional security features to further protect my account.

    My suggestions: - Login notifications directly on the Xbox or via the app when someone new signs in - Device management with the ability to manually remove old or unknown devices - Two-factor authentication (2FA) that can be enabled directly on the Xbox console - A security checklist in the profile that shows whether all protections are active - Temporary suspension of purchases or cloud access in case of suspicious activity

    These features would increase trust in the Xbox ecosystem and help better protect accounts from unauthorized access.

    RUMOUR..... microsoft will not charge you to watch netflix

    Obviously I'll be able to in a few weeks, and the security of my accounts will be no different. If a gold account actually enhances security in ANY way then you should be able to do a simple Google search and see how exactly it enhances things. You can't,
    because it doesn't.

    Weird account activities

    It's possible your account got hacked, and I would change your passwords and enhance your security measure such as enabling a two-factor authentication.

    Fraud on my account

    Dear mhe2005,

    Your best option is to contact Microsoft Support http://support.xbox.com/contact-us.

    You should also access your Microsoft account via https://account.microsoft.com/.

    From there you should revise your security settings and change your password information.

    You may also want to enhance your security by enabling Two-factor Authentication. So when someone tries to access your account or buy anything they will have to verify a second time they are you via phone, email, or the Microsoft
    Authenticator app.

    Hi, in addition to what others have mentioned, I might recommend looking into security options such as adding a passkey to your account to help prevent unwanted access in the future. For more information about Xbox security options: https://support.xbox.com/browse/my-account/security
