    Can't Access my Game Pass Account but still Paying.


    I was abroad for a year and lost my local phone number which I used to recover my password via SMS. I am still paying for my game pass subscription but because I no longer have the phone number I can't recover my account. I have submitted the form with all the information, credit card, game tag, country and postcode of the place that I created the account and nothing. Tried numerous times but it doesn't work and I can't find a way to cancel my subscription either!

    :)

    Can't Access my Game Pass Account but still Paying.

    Hello Kayx_2427,

    Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Community. My name is Lumie and I'm happy to help.

    I'm sorry you're experiencing this problem. I understand how important recovering your account is to you. You can cancel the payments by calling your bank or going through your app to cancel the direct debit.

    When did you last successfully sign in to your Microsoft account? If you have not logged into your account for more than two years and it has been closed due to inactivity, you will not be able to use the Account Recovery Form to recover your account. Reference: [https://support.microsoft.com/office/7c0a9fa7-0982-b7c6-fd72-df852b63699f]

    Did you have two-factor authentication (2FA) active on the account? If you do have the 2FA active, are you able to access the second factor of authentication? If so, please try resetting your password. Detailed steps on resetting your password can be found in the following support article: [https://support.microsoft.com/office/eff4f067-5042-c1a3-fe72-b04d60556c37]

    Important: The account recovery form can only be used if two-step verification isn't turned on.

    If you did not have 2FA active on the account, and the account was not deleted due to inactivity, you will need to try the Account Recovery Form: [https://account.live.com/acsr]

    Detailed steps on how to use the Account Recovery Form can be found here again: [https://support.microsoft.com/office/b19c02d1-a782-dee6-93c3-dc8113b20c42]

    Microsoft takes account security very seriously, that's why Account Recovery is an automated process with no human influence. If you don't have the correct information, you may not be able to get through account verification using the Recovery Form.

    The Account Recovery Form requires adequate information to prove that you are the owner of the account. The Account Recovery Process can be a time consuming process, but providing as much info as possible from the start of the process will increase the possibility of being verified by the automated process. You'll need to keep trying until you're verified by Microsoft.

    Remember to use a familiar device from which you've frequently accessed your Microsoft account, as well as a familiar location. Microsoft will review your responses and respond within 24 hours. If you are verified, instructions on how to log back into your account will be sent to you, and if you are not verified, you will need to submit the Account Recovery form again. You can do this up to 2 times every 24 hours.

    It's important to note that Microsoft Support will not be able to grant you access to your account, you will be sent back to the Account Recovery pages that have been linked above.

    If your Microsoft account recovery request was not granted or was unsuccessful, please click the attached link for more information: [https://support.microsoft.com/office/dc56c3e3-dff0-4ed5-8edb-60290eea6b53]

    While it might not be the outcome you are looking for, if you’re unsuccessful in recovering your account, then you will need to create a new Microsoft account. You can do that by clicking this link: [https://signup.live.com/]

    Let me know if you need more help.

    Regards,
    Lumie

    Account locked for no reason

    Is there any chance to delete this account to create a new one with the same email and pay the Game Pass again? I still have no response, I can't use my Xbox.

    Xbox Live Glitch

    No. I have set Home to my account. But for one, I can't access Game Pass Ultimate since it says the "join" option instead of the download option. And also, I can't access the sales or free games. So this is confusing me. Should I talk with an Xbox Employee
    later, because if that was the case, I would still have access to Game Pass Ult. till June.

    Gameshare not working?

    Hi alexford2,

    he will still be able to play anything from the game pass, however, he can't download directly from the Xbox game pass page as only the account owner can have this access. instead, you need to have installed the game via your account to enable him to access
    any games on game pass

    about forza horizon 4 i have a question with the xbox ultimate thing

    I don't believe so. The games seem to be licensed to your account when you pay for the game pass service. If you stop paying for the service, you lose access to the game unless you purchase the actual game. It will still be downloaded to your PC but you
    won't actually be able to play.

    That's my understanding of how it works.
