is it possible to get an account back if you only remember the username

Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

My name is welcome to the community and Merry Christmas.

Hello Criescrimson, since you don't remember the email from the account that owns your Game Pass, you should try to remember what the account is or follow the steps below to see if you can find the email you used for the account.

Xbox Support can’t provide this information, even if you know your Gamertag.

If you've forgotten your password, the Lost Password Solution link can help:

If you've forgotten your account/username/gamertag and if you’ve forgotten which email address see the Lost Account Solution link:

https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/account-pro...

a. Recover using your Alternate phone number or email address:

1. All you need to do is to go to https://account.live.com

2. Click on Sign in

3. Choose sign in options

4. Choose Forgot my username from there you will be ask for alternate email or phone number that you use with that account, if you enter it correctly then you will be able to see the right email for your account.

I logged into a Microsoft account on my PlayStation a while back and i need to log back in. I dont remember what the email or password is, i only know the username.

Somehow you're gonna have to figure out or remember the email. Its not possible to recover the account without it and support cant/wont tell you what the email is.

Knowing the gamertag (username) wont do you any good. Anyone can easily get that.

https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/account-profile/manage-account/forgot-microsoft-account-solution has some suggestions on a few ways you can try to figure out what email you used. If none of them help then unfortunately it won't be possible to recover the account.

i dont remember the email that i have used on the account only the username of the minecart account

Hi! My name is Ben a fellow member here in the community, not part of Microsoft. Hope you are doing well!

That is strange that your account got deleted as adding a phone number for recovery information wouldn't delete it, it will only got deleted if you have deleted the account manually on the Microsoft account page.

It is possible that your gamertag is associated on a different email address than the one you have tried to check. Do you remember having another email account that you might have used for Xbox or other Microsoft services? Once you sign in your account at https://account.xbox.com/profile page you will see here the gamertag and if its the correct one it will show the "ImpliedGarlic95" gamertag.

You may also try to recover your username via this page by entering your phone number https://account.live.com/username/recover

I hope the information helps in recovering your account. Feel free to post back if you need more help and we will try with the best of our knowledge to assist.

Kind regards,

Ben

Thank you so much Ben, I used the username recover page to recover my old username but because it was a microsoft generated username i cant remember it. Is there any way to unhide the username so i can open my account again?

The email address will be needed as that is the primary identifier of the account. Only way to get the account back is to remember the email address.

The only way around not knowing it is if you have set up security info on your MS account:

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us...username-b2049472-3b8f-27d3-61c6-67a668453f4c

Beyond that, might be worth asking anyone you know who you may have emailed with that email address etc
