How to change account on Xbox app and bypass auto sign in

Alex cruikshank · Dec 26, 2022

Hi,

I recently got a new computer and use a different account then the one I am signed into

for the Xbox app. On the app it keeps auto signing me in to the account I don't use and

it will not let me change because it auto signs me into it. Is there a way to bypass auto sign in

or another solution

Thanks,

Alex

I understand that auto-sign-in does just that. My point was - how does the xbox verify the account password if I have changed it independantly of my xbox?

Hey mate, try:

-

-

To turn the auto sign-in feature on or off, follow these steps:

1.Sign in to Xbox LIVE.

2.Select Settings, and then select Profile.

3.Select Sign-in Preferences.

4.Select Auto Sign-in, and then make the changes that you want.

Settings | Profile | Sign-In Preferences | set Profile Auto Sign-In to OFF

As to the DRM problem, did you change to this Xbox from another? Were the other games bought on a different Xbox? If you want to use them on this Xbox, then sign in at a quiet time, do Settings | Account | License Transfer and after starting that, re-download
your apps to solve the DRM issue.
