  1. How can I transfer my son's gaming profile off of my email into his own email?


    It seems ridiculous to say the only way to get my son's gaming profile off of my email is to create a whole new gaming profile with his own Microsoft account. My son constantly is locking my email and forcing a new password and there's no way for me to remove my email from the account without causing other issues.

    Why can't this be a simple email transfer request or profile transfer request? There has to be some way to retain his gaming achievements and profile without me losing my email.

    Adding a new email and deleting mine is not an option. I've read plenty of articles stating that you can no longer use the email address after you do that and this is my primary email I use. There has to be other options and if not Microsoft needs to figure out a way to do it.

    :)

    How can I transfer my son's gaming profile off of my email into his own email?

    Hi Raymond, my name is Jhon, and will be a pleasure help you

    Yes, you can move the Xbox profile and gamer tag to a new email. Your saved game progress and contacts will also be moved to the new email.

    To move your Xbox profile, follow these steps:

    -Sign in to your Microsoft account with your Hotmail email address.
    Go to your Microsoft account settings page.

    -In the "Contact Information" section, click "Change primary email address."

    -Enter your new Outlook email address.

    -Click "Next".

    -Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the process.

    Once you've completed these steps, your child will be able to sign in to their Xbox profile using their new Outlook email address. Your saved game progress and his contacts will be transferred automatically.

    Here are some tips for moving Xbox profile:

    1. Make sure the new email address is set up correctly.

    2. If your child has an Xbox Live Gold or Game Pass subscription, be sure to transfer it to their new email address.

    3. If your child has an Xbox gift card or discount code, be sure to redeem it before moving the profile.

    I really hope your problem has been fixed with my help, if it works let me know and have a nice day. Jhon

    Its not a simple transfer because your email (which is your Microsoft account) IS the Xbox profile and vice versa. They are all one in the same and all tied together. They are all intertwined.

    Unfortunately one of you is going to have to start over if you want things complete separate from each other. (either you with a brand new email or your kid with a brand new xbox account.)

    How can I transfer my son's gaming profile off of my email into his own email?

    Is the master password different than email password? Currently there is a pin code set. But after he fails the pin code multiple times it asks for email password. That's when he fails multiple times and forces the email account to lock and password reset when I try to access my email.

    To be clear, it's his account that I set up to my email... he should have access to play games. But no access to make purchases without parent override. Is there a way to make the parent override be through mobile/desktop approval? That way I can turn off purchases on his account all together.

    Lesson learned for all parents, don't set up your kids account to your email! You'll never get rid of it and when they are older they will want to keep their profile and it won't be possible without losing everything.

    Hello Raymond S, I'm Vanessa, an independent advisor, and I'm here to guide you on your case.

    I understand your frustration. It's a difficult situation when you can't control your own email.

    Currently, there is no way to transfer the game profile from one email to another. The only option is to create a new game profile with the new email address.

    However, there are some things you can do to prevent your child from blocking your email.

    You can set a master password for your Microsoft account. This will prevent your child from being able to change your email password without your permission.
    You can enable two-factor authentication for your Microsoft account. This will add an extra layer of security that will make it more difficult for your child to log into your account without your permission.
    You can also try talking to your child about the problem. Explain that blocking your email is a violation of your privacy and is causing you problems.

    If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us. We are here to help.

    Best regards,
    Vanessa.

    HELP WITH ACCOUNT

    Ricardo,

    Thank you. I have seen the area where I can change my email address and place another. So the 2 questions

    1. The current email - my son has a ton of credits or gift cards or something… can that be transferred to the new email? Is there a way to transfer it to the new email. Or transfer his profile to the new email?

    2. If I delete the email from what’s there. I can still use this email for regular email use.

    The goal is that when my son signs on to his Xbox- it is not my email address and his own assigned email address for that box??

    Does this make sense. Can you contact me or can I call you please?
