Gamertag associated with now defunct email, Please Help!

Hey Mandalorian,

Thank you for reaching out. You should be able to access your Microsoft Account even if the associated email is obsolete. Once you are logged in, you can change the main email linked with your account via our

Change Alias page. You also have the option to reach out to one of our account specialists at
Xbox Support if you are having some trouble logging in. Cheers

[quote user="HomeDeer192"]My main account (paran0idandro1d) is associated with a defunct email,[/quote]

If the defunct email is from a third party service (e.g. Gmail, Yahoo, or anything else besides Live.com, Hotmail.com or Outlook.com), then the Live Service created a Microsoft Account with an username that looks like your defunct email, however has nothing
to do with the email itself.

You should still be able to sign into your Microsoft account that looks like your defunct email, if you know the password for the Microsoft Account (which can be different than the password you used on the defunct email).

In order to use "paran0idandro1d" on the email that is used for "homedeer192", you need to do several steps:

Create a new email address at
https://www.outlook.com and choose something you don't want to use. Like for example "dontNeedThatAnymore@ outlook.com" or something like that.

Then using the instructions from
the link from above, use your Xbox 360 to move the homedeer Gamertag to the "dontNeedThatAnymore" Microsoft Account Email.

For security reasons and to slow down account thieves, the email that was associated with homedeer can't be used for 30 days to hold another Gamertag.

Just wait 30 days, then sign in with the paran0idandro1d gamertag on your 360, and move the paran0idandro1d Gamertag over to the now freed ex-homedeer Microsoft Account email with the same instructions.

Hi there.

What you need to do is change the email of the secondary account (homedeer192) which will free up the email for use on your main account. To help you do so click

here.

what you need to do is to make a third email and change your gamertag to that one so you can free the email currently associated to it. then move your original account to the original second email you made as it will now not be associated with
any gamertag which will then once moved, your very first email will now not have any gamertag. the second will have the gamertag you want and the 3rd email will have the other gamertag you dont use



this is the simple version, i hope it helps!

Greetings, Yielding! If I understand correctly the email address associated with your gamertag was closed. Now you want to change the email address associated with your gamertag to something else. Is that correct?



If for any reason you cannot sign in to your account you will need to get in touch with phone support for your region as Dignitas Curtis recommends. They will be able to work with you to reassign your gamertag to a different WLID.



Hope this helps!
