    How to get Xbox account back with only my gamer tag? I forgot the email to the account.


    I remember I had xbox account a while ago. And I wanna sign into it again. However, I don't remember the email or password to the account. All I know is the gamertag. And it says I was last online over 300 days ago. It would feel like a dream to get this account back and reset the password.

    :)

    Hi, my name is , I'm an Independent Consultant and a member of the Xbox community like you. I understand your problem, don't worry I'm here to help you.

    It is not possible to recover an account only with Gamertag, since it is public information. There are some means to recover such as phone number added to the account or security email;

    Lost Gamertag. Lost purchases as well. I think i factory reset.

    Each gamer tag is tied to a unique email address. If you're seeing a different gamer tag then you didn't sign back into your Xbox with the correct/original email address for your account.

    To get your stuff back, you need to find that original email address.

    You can also try an contact Xbox Support and provide them with your original gamer tag and they can try and help you locate your account.

    Anyone know how to get my old gamer tag onto my console after starting a new account?

    Thanks, I appreciate you getting back to me but that isn’t helping.

    Maybe I’m not explaining this right.

    I restarted my console this morning when I signed back in I didn’t read things correctly and used my email and password to sign in and then started with a new gamer tag with the same email as my old gamer tag.

    Now when I sign in it’s my new gamer tag that pops up. I tried deleting the new tag off my console and resigning in but again the new gamer tag pops up.

    There is no option to look for tags associated with the same email???

    All my purchased games and game pass is associated with my old gamer tag. How do I get my old gamer tag back with this email and onto my console???
    You had to have used a different email for the new account. Its simply not possible to have two accounts under the same exact email.

    If you tried it would say the account already exists

    email for xbox live

    If you know the gamer tag for the account you can contact Xbox Support and give them the gamer tag and then they will try and send out a security/verification code to the phone and/or email on the account.

    If you get that code, that will help Xbox Support unlock the account info on their screen to help them see the sign in email address of the account.

    If you don't get that code you're going to be stuck.

    Gamertag Lost

    You'll see a new gamer tag like that when you sign in with a new account. Since you stated that there are no games or gamer score, that's another indication that you've signed in with the wrong sign in email address that's not associated with the Neo gamer
    tag.

    You can contact Xbox Support and give them your gamer tag and they will send out a security/verification code to the phone/email you have setup on your account. Without that code, they won't be able to see your account info.
