  1. Account email defunct


    I've been trying to register my Xbox Live profile on my new Xbox One so I can play on it. To do that, I need the email associated with the account and the password. I have both, but the email address itself is defunct. I got rid of it and moved to the next
    one. I would change emails on my account to the new one, but to do that I need to enter the login information for the old one. When I do, it says the information is invalid, because the account doesn't exist anymore.

    I tried to fill out the form to verify the information, but all the things it asked of me were filled out over 6 years ago and I don't remember any of them. I don't know what my favorite childhood book in 2009 was. And even if I passed the check, all it
    would do is give me the password for the account/reset the password, but that is useless since the account now doesn't exist in the first place.

    What do I do?

    Also, I tried to do the live chat thing with support, but it wouldn't let me because it didn't have my first and last name. Yet I couldn't even fill out the fields to enter them, they were locked. It's like telling me to get up and then punching me down
    again. Telling me to open a locked door.

    :)

    [quote user="HomeDeer192"]My main account (paran0idandro1d) is associated with a defunct email,[/quote]

    If the defunct email is from a third party service (e.g. Gmail, Yahoo, or anything else besides Live.com, Hotmail.com or Outlook.com), then the Live Service created a Microsoft Account with an username that looks like your defunct email, however has nothing
    to do with the email itself.

    You should still be able to sign into your Microsoft account that looks like your defunct email, if you know the password for the Microsoft Account (which can be different than the password you used on the defunct email).

    In order to use "paran0idandro1d" on the email that is used for "homedeer192", you need to do several steps:

    Create a new email address at
    https://www.outlook.com
    and choose something you don't want to use. Like for example "dontNeedThatAnymore@ outlook.com" or something like that.

    Then using the instructions from
    the link from above
    , use your Xbox 360 to move the homedeer Gamertag to the "dontNeedThatAnymore" Microsoft Account Email.

    For security reasons and to slow down account thieves, the email that was associated with homedeer can't be used for 30 days to hold another Gamertag.

    Just wait 30 days, then sign in with the paran0idandro1d gamertag on your 360, and move the paran0idandro1d Gamertag over to the now freed ex-homedeer Microsoft Account email with the same instructions.

    Security Proofs...

    But the thing is the email attached to my Xbox Live account IS the email I use. I need to get rid of the other email, the security proof one that somehow ended up on there and is being sent the codes. Both are mine and I have always had the same email with
    my Xbox account. I think it got the other from the now defunct Facebook app as I used a different email to sign in on there...
