Can I speed up the process of changing the recovery email?

Hi there!

Due to our account safety and security, it's already part of the process. We cannot bypass the 30-day waiting period. You really have to wait unless you have access to the old security information linked with your account.

Thanks,

Hello ! My name is Jeremy and I’m happy to help you with your question.

Do you have access to the recovery email set up on the account?

You can choose for a change password to be sent to the recovery email instead as a short fix if you are just trying to get into your account.

If this isn't possible for the issue at hand and you will need to begin the account recovery process outlined in the support link below.

The process takes 30 days to complete so getting the recovery started as soon as possible is important.

No. As I have exampled above, account recovery is not possible under any circumstance, because the email was changed. The above process requires access to your account. If you can't access your account, you can't change the email back.

Thanks,
Kyle

Hello Jalen, sorry to hear you're having trouble with your gamertag change.

When you change your tag it can take up to a week for the change to fully populate across all accounts. If you'd like to try speeding up that process you can try deleting then redownloading your gamertag to the console.

Please be sure that you know the email/password for your account if you try this.

When we need to recover a Microsoft account, the only standard way and process is to view the security verification information and account recovery form. Any information you have that proves your identity will be used in the process of filling out the recovery form. Also, this step will require your account alias (Microsoft account email address), but hackers have modified it with the intention of preventing you from using the recovery form.

As a program to try:

Can you get the address that has been changed?

You can check the Microsoft Store, Minecraft Launcher, and other Microsoft-related apps and websites that you have signed in to check the accounts that you have signed in to.

Log in to the emails corresponding to your previous Microsoft accounts to check for emails that include Notification of Alias ​​Changes.

If you're lucky, you may see that your account email address has changed, which may allow you to use the recovery form:
