    Account recovery alternatives


    I have an old account (my father’s email). My father has since then changed emails loosing the ability to check the old email. I was able to access Xbox, Microsoft with his account as he allowed me to know and use his password. When two-step verification was required it changed the system to where you have to have full access to the email (view notifications) to continue to sign in. My father signed out of his email and lost the ability to check notifications. I can no longer sign into this older account and my father has not enough recollection of the recovery info to recover the account. How to I proceed in recovering this account?

    :)

    How can I recover my account if my number is deactivated for 2fa

    you should always update account phone numbers as soon as you know they are to be changed, also setup alternative recovery email addresses and make a note of the account recovery code. support are not able to assist due to 2fa as they cannot access that.

    How Long Does It Take To Get Points Back?

    When you started the investigation they asked you for an alternate email, That's the one that will be getting the account recovery email along with codes for points if need be.

    Microsoft account with same email was deleted for no reason

    You can try the recovery form. But don't use the current email address (because probably you're going to "recover" the recently created Microsoft account)

    On the recovery form, try alternative emails if you added one to the account
    If not, try instead using a phone number previously added as well

    FYI - when they invalidate your billing, you are NOT locked out of your account. You can simply go in and re-validate the billing or provide an alternative billing method. This does NOT stop someone who has access to your account (perhaps loaded on their
    console) from doing just that.

    And don't just change passwords, change everything. You have had your ID stolen. Create a new WLID. Move your Gamertag there. Don't use secret passphrases or 'alternative e-mail' for recovery. Use Trusted PC or SMS. Check your WLID's alternative e-mail
    address (for recovery purposes) -- it's common for the FIFA hack for the attacker to add an account there. REMOVE IT.
