email is linked to a friends account

StarStryker_11 · Mar 9, 2022

Hello,

An xbox friend of mine mentioned that my email account is popping up on his side asking him if he would like to change anything on the account. It has my name with email tied to alert. How do I remove my account from his console? We do not even know how it happened. Any advice will be very helpful. Thank you.

:)

good afternoon

it is only possible to remove this account directly in the console, that is, only your friend can remove it, you can associate authentication to the account, in this way he has no way to use the account, whenever he uses it, he will ask for authentication.

You mentioned before that the account was never connected to a Microsoft account, those where only Xbox classic accounts on 2003/2004 on Xbox 360 all the accounts had a Microsoft account linked to be a ble to use Xbox live, otherwise the account will be a local only account, this accounts can't be recovered as never where connected to Xboo live and you will need the original device used with the account to linked to a Microsoft account

But if your friends has that account added then it has a Microsoft account linked and to be able to recover access you need the email linked(even if the email it's not from Microsoft /hotmail/outlook still it's a Microsoft account) and the password, but if the email was already deleted means that this account its not available for recovery after 1 year of its deletion, the account will remain as your friend friends but that's only like a contact on your phone, even if the number doesn't exist you still will be able to see it

Hello! Make sure your friend has the correct email linked to their Xbox account and/or number. When verifying an account, a code should be sent to either your friend's email or phone number.

Here is an account recovery form that might help:
