  1. I cannot update the email used by my XBOX profile


    I want to change the email associted with my XBOX account but instead was prompted for a code so I waited got one and entered it. Now when I try to acccess my account I get this. Th instructions listed here dont work

    https://support.xbox.com/en-CA/my-account/microsoft-account/change-email-sign-in-for-microsoft-accou...

    There is no section labelled Manage how you sign in to Microsoft. Instead there is a section that says Manage Your Sing In Email or Phone Number and that is where I was asked for the code.

    You can't access this site right now

    This

    site requires a security code to sign in. When your security info

    updates on 1/27/2018 you will be able to access this site. You can still

    access sites such as Outlook and Skype that don't require a security

    code.

    On 12/28/2017 you requested that your security info be replaced.

    Current security info

    Alternate email: *** Die E-Mail-Adresse wurde aus Datenschutzgründen entfernt. ***

    New security info

    Phone number ending in 44

    If you didn't request this,
    let us know
    .

    If you'd like to keep your current security info, you can

    cancel this request
    .

    :)

    Manage Payment Options: No Email Code

    Hi!

    When i go to manage payment options, the service says its sent a code to my email. Strangely, this is a different email address to the email I used to log in and my alternate email. No code is received by any of my emails in any of my folders inc. Spam,
    Junk and Inbox. When i go to update my email (to change it) from Xbox Live, it says I cannot use a hotmail email and it says I cannot use my alternate email. Why?

    Thanks in advance for your time.

  3. got gamertag but cannot remember email to log in to Account profile

    hi my son has a gamertag and we get emails at my yahoo account from xbox related to his gamertag but we cannot get onto his gamer account because xbox keeps asking for security info, requesting his email and password. It registers that we set his email up
    as my yahoo email address and I cannot remember the password for that address on the xbox if indeed we did orginaly set it up that way. How do we get microsoft to email us back at that yahoo address (we get regular xbox updates sent to my yahoo address) with
    a way to access his account and reset the email address and password to something that will work. He has used his gamertag profile since October last year with no problems until last week when this security verification thing came up and he cannot sign in
    so we cannot update anything. Please help! Even if its to talk to someone at microsoft to send us an email like they regularly do so we can get his profile back. Thanks.

  5. OK so if you have access to the security proof (where they want to send the verification code to) then go to account.live.com/addassocid and that should allow you to either add a new email (outlook.com) or an existing email that you have that is not associated
    with Microsoft.

    Change the e-mail i use to log-in my Xbox Live Gamertag

    Hello zDavzBR,

    Thank you for keeping us updated. That is correct. If you decide to remove the email address from the Microsoft account; it cannot be recovered. Your parents will need to
    create a new account in order to use an email address that is not associated with your Xbox profile. The Xbox profile information cannot be transferred from one account to another.
    We hope this information helps!

    How can I transfer my gamer tag when I cannot sign onto an old account?

    Thank you again. My account is now active and I was able to get into Xbox live, perform updates and verify my account so my downloaded content is avail.

    I would like to transfer this profile TouringGlint02 to another account since I cannot access the email address it is attached to. Is there anyway to a transfer profile/gamer tag or change the email address for a profile?
