    Gmail account for microsoft login?


    So a little while ago (maybe 3 hours or so) i tried game sharing with my friend. He gave me his account info and that was what first raised some questions. I saw that the email he gave me was a gmail account. So at first i was confused but then I got over
    it. I tried logging into the account on my xbox one but when i clicked enter a message came up that said theres a problem with your account fix this on account.live.com. SO i tried logging into the microsoft website with the account but it wouldnt work. What
    do I do to fix this?

    :)

    I signed up with a gmail account

    Hi there,

    -

    you don't need an microsoft email account to be able to have an Microsoft Account. You can use a gmail email account for a Microsoft Account. (The email address is only the ID for the account).

    -

    When you use the gmail account to create a Xbox Live account, you will first need to create a Microsoft Account for that gmail account.

    -

    To understand the current situation correctly, can you please explain the following.

    1. Do you already have a xbox live account connected to that gmail account?

    2. How and where did you create that Microsoft Account, and what have you done with it so far?

    3. Also give as much information as possible for what exactly you want to achieve?

    -

    Let us know the results Gmail account for microsoft login? :)

    Changing to a gmail account

    so this works with gmail accounts? I tried this but it didn't seem to work, I did just register the gmail account as a Microsoft account so will I have to wait? I made the gmail account a few months ago

    Hey there Braskobud!

    Your home xbox settings, is by design, not made to designate your friends Xbox One console as your home xbox, for the soul purpose of sharing games and downloadable content purchased from the digital store.

    More important! Please keep in mind that "lend, transfer, sell, or otherwise provide third parties access to your accounts or Gamertags" or "access or attempt to access accounts that you do not own" is
    strictly prohibited by the Xbox Code of Conduct.

    For future reference! I encourage you to familiarize yourself with the Xbox CoC, to have a better understanding of what is considered conduct in Xbox Live.

    Please read: Microsoft’s Code of Conduct Explained for Xbox Live Customers

    It doesn't matter if he gives you permission, it is still a violation of the code of conduct.

    It's a violation because it's technically piracy.

    Every game shared is a sale lost.

    Violation of the code of conduct can lead you account bans or suspensions.

    You should read the code of conduct yourself.

    You also run the risk of having your account stolen as giving your account details to others in your friends list is only asking for trouble. Personally if I was you I would make your own console your home xbox again and change your account password to deny
    the other person access to your account. They clearly gave you the wrong account details after all if you are unable to log in with them.

    I think you all have me mistaken. I didn't set his Xbox as my home Xbox to get the games. I already bought 2k16 and black ops 3 from game stop(the games i wanted to play). This thread was asking if a gmail account could be used on xbox one. I've never pirated
    anything and have no plans on doing so because i don't want to be a criminal. But its to late now because someone reported my account I guess and now its suspended. He wanted to see if his account info was correct (and it was) and all of my friends call using
    your account on someone else's Xbox even if you don't download the games which I did not.

    Peace out!!!

  12. To answer your main question, yes, a Gmail e-mail can be used as the basis for a Microsoft account - I do it with my account.
