    You can't transfer ownership of an account to someone else. Doing so violates the terms of service and would put the account at risk for being banned.

    The two step verification would be for adding your account to the xbox. Once you sign in and set the settings to no barriers for sign in it will automatically sign you in so you may want to go into settings and either lock it down to where you have to enter
    your password every time or enter in a passcode when signing in.

    As long as you changed your password on your account and the person that "hacked" your account does not know the new password and if they still have your account on their xbox the next time they try to sign in it will ask for the new password and if they
    do not know the new password they will not have access to your account.

    2FA is more for verifying the account like if you were to want to make major changes to the account like (passwords, email, phone numbers, Billing address) If your account is on a trusted device already it is not going to request for you to do 2FA every
    time when making a purchase it may ask for it too. But if your account is already on a console it is not going to ask for it every unless you setup the console to lock it down or ask for the passcode as far as playing the game if you own the game and have
    the license under your account and do not have that persons console set as your home console they should not be able to play your license for the game.
