    I have two gamertags connected to one e-mail account


    Good evening,

    Tonight I was faced with a very technical issue on my Xbox One. While I was playing fortnite, obviously connected online, when the electrical current of my apartment suddenly turned off. A couple of minutes later after the eletricity came back I decided
    to turn on my xbox in order to play again.

    After turning on my Xbox I realised that it was as if I had just bought it, I had to restard all the configurations from zero and all the games installed on the xbox a couple of minutes earlier had vanished. So I attempted to sign in to my account. I entered
    my e-mail address and password correctly, but was signed into a gamertag that I had created a couple of years ago (2015) and which i thought had been deleted. I tried a couple of times through e-mail, skype, and even kinect to retrieve the account that I was
    using beforehand and which possessed my gold subscription, plus dozens of games that were bought on that account. Both gamertags are associated to the same e-mail, which I found weird as I have never thought it would be possible. (From what I know many other
    websites and social media do not allow one e-mail to have two accounts)

    Anyways, what can I and you do to help me retrieve and use the correct gamertag with all the games that I was using a couple of hours ago, and completely delete the one that was being used in 2015?

    Thank you for your response

    :)

    I have two gamertags connected to one e-mail account

    Hey there Augustine,

    Sorry to hear you are running into this problem. Just to clarify, you are not going to be able to create two different Xbox accounts with a single Microsoft email. In this case if this is pulling up a different account it is because you are using the incorrect
    email address.

    Go ahead and follow our support article for
    finding your Microsoft account email address
    . This should walk you through helpful steps to attempt to recover the account. If this is still not working, You might be able to get assistance from
    Xbox Customer Support, just go ahead and request a callback or to chat with an Xbox agent.

    I hope this helps.

    Probably the only way to figure this out would be to contact xbox support and give them the gamer tag that you are trying to get back into and if they can verify ownership of the account they can give you the email associated with that account.

    If you do not know the gamer tag and are using a credit/debit card for the subscription they can look up all accounts that have that card on it and see if they can find the account you are looking for and then if they can verify ownership of the account
    they can give you the email associated with the account.

    xbox support can be reached by going to support.xbox.com/contact-us

    I have two gamertags connected to one e-mail account

    It is not possible to have 2 gamertags associated to the same account. It is also not possible to transfer gamertags from one account to another. So the only possible explanation is that you have 2 different accounts with different email addresses used
    to log in. To try to find the email address used to log in to the other account please use the Forgot email address for
    Microsoft account
    solution.

    One E-Mail Connected To Two Gamertags

    Phone support can't change the password for you, all they can do is direct you to login.live.com to do a password reset yourself, like Mister Fitzer suggested.

    -

    If I'm understanding this correctly though, you have two accounts with the same WLID? If so, that's not supposed to happen and I would recommend attempting to change the WLID email for the account that it signs you in as. From there try to log into the
    account you were unable to access due to the glitch and see if you can now access it. If you cannot change the WLID, you may need to have a case escalated through support, as it is not supposed to be possible to have two different accounts with the same WLID.

    One E-Mail Connected To Two Gamertags

    [quote user="Vegeta XII"]I've tried changing the unwanted gamertag's WLID, but it won't allow me to because it's telling me the password is wrong, which it is not. [/quote]

    Contact Xbox phone support to help you reset the password. Once that is sorted, then try changing the WLID on that account again.
