Can't sign into XBOX design lab. Says "You can not login right now. Your Microsoft account...

Hi,

This site is so broken, I just created a new Microsoft Account with my first name and last name included in the profile and got the following error when trying to sign in to the design lab:

You can not login right now. Your Microsoft account doesn't contain information about First Name,Last Name. Update your profile and login again

So disappointing.

Yes, you can use your Microsoft account balance for Design Lab.

It depends on whether you are talking about a normal controller from the Microsoft Store or a Design Lab one (as noted "theyre more expensive on amazon then a custom designed one"

Normal controllers bought through the Store can use MS credit. Design Labs controllers do not allow use of MS balance of gift card to purchase:

"No, there isn't a way to use gift cards, codes, or CSV to purchase a controller.

You also can't make split payments between account funds, codes, and another payment method on file with your Microsoft account."

Xbox Design Lab FAQs

Looks like there's no way at all to use microsoft account balances on Xbox Design Lab. Sales on Xbox Design Lab are handled by DR globalTech Inc, not Microsoft. So whatever balance you have can only be used through the microsoft/xbox store, not this third party provider. That is not good business.
