    [Guide] How to link a controller to your specific gamer tag and login


    Do you have a special controller that only you use and not one else or do you have children or guests that are
    only allowed to use a specific controller and only to a specific account?
    I know I have I do. I have an Xbox One Elite controller for the past 2 years I got on release date that I use with my account and no other account, then I have a “guest” controller that is only use with a guest account I have.
    I wish I could like the controller with those account.

    Well we are all in luck, the newest release of the Xbox One operating system has a new feature call “Controller
    Sign-In”.

    To link a specific controller to a gamer tag and auto login to that gamer tag:



    With the controller you want linked login to your gamer tag.

    Goto Settings - > All Setting –> Account -> Sign-in, Security & passkey



    Goto the last box which says “This controller signs in Nobody”
    and select the box to assign your gamer tag to this controller, you will prompted to “Link Controller” select this option. The box will change to “This controller signs in ‘gamertag’”



    To test that this works -> Goto the Home screen. Select your account and sign out.
    Hold the Controllers Home button and select Power off Controller.
    Now that the controller is powered off, press the home button to power on the controller.
    You should now be signed in as your gamer tag.

    :)

    Missing dog tags?

    [quote user="Ruhelking1"]

    you have to login into the game again if you are missing it. I have to install my pc version of bc2 to get the dog tag and veteran status and had to login into my play4free to get the dog tag

    [/quote]

    This is correct, you will need any prior Game on your Veteran Status from EA so it will Unlock the Dog Tag in specific.

    Account sign in!

    After logging into that account, you can set it to be the account to auto login.

    1. Hit the guide button on your controller (Xbox button) - and tab all the way over to settings.
    2. Select Profile
    3. Select Sign in Preferences
    4. Then turn "Profile Auto Sign in" to On.

    Also, your post tags mentions a moderate NAT. If you need to resolve this, I'd start here:

    I can't login to Xbox... help me please

    Sounds like you may have changed your nickname or gamer tag? I would suggest you login to your Xbox account and verify all your account details. If you updated your gamer tag you may be trying to login with the old tag and need to change that.

    (*) Trying to change my xbox gamertag

    Follow the instructions in this link to change your gamertag. As long as the tag isn't in use you can claim it but it will cost 800 Microsoft Points regardless of whether you had it before or not.

    HOW TO CHANGE GAMER TAG TO XBOX 360 GAMER TAG

    For some reason my new gamer tag linked itself to my old gamer tag email address. I don't know how to change that and to link my old gamer tag back to my Microsoft account. I believe that's why I cant play as my old game tag. Is there a way to fix that?

    forced gamertag change

    Hi,

    TrippIE and Smwutches are right about this.

    if you get complaints on your gamer tag the enforcement team will go over it, and that they will or will not change the gamer tag there is nothing more you can do other then change gamer tag.

    Some times they will give you a free change of gamer tag if this has not happened as soon as you login on the console then you have to make the change your self.

    May the force be with you..
