    It looks like a second gamer tag has been associated with my account


    The billing email address for my account for Xbox Live Gold is the one I use to login to my Xbox with.

    However, it looks like a new gamer tag was associated with the Live Gold account. For instance, my gamer tag before was TitanXXX4643 and that's where I was playing Red Dead Redemption 2 on.

    When I traveled home, I logged into another Xbox with my same email address and it seems a new gamertag is associated with my email address that does not have the Xbox Gold Subscription on it. The gamer tag is TitanXXX6589.

    I cannot figure out how to switch this association, or use my account at all.

    Is there an easy way to reset this?

    :)

    Recover Gamer Tag from Origional Xbox

    No, this did not help me. The gamer tag is still active as I can look it up from another account and even send it a friend request. When I look it up it is definitely my profile and it say original Xbox user. So, the account is still active and my problem
    is not the gamer tag, its logging in with the e-mail address associated with the gamer tag.

    Gamertag suffix issue

    Hi KC,

    Thanks for coming to the forums. Unfortunately, there is no way of removing the suffix. They added the suffix so many people could have same gamer tag. Example if multiple people wanted John smith then the suffix gets added to tell people apart. When making
    a gamer tag, it will show you what the gamer tag will look like. If it is a unique one that no one has it will not show the suffix. Please make sure you check these when going to change gamer tag. There are a few gamer tag checkers out there that are not correct.
    Here is
    the FAQ
    for the gamer tag update.

    Thanks,

    Brad
    Hi Brad, the gamertag I changed to and using now was unique. I did previously have it linked to my second microsoft account before I closed the account. I changed my gamertag on my main microsoft account to the gamertag I had on my second microsoft account
    once that account was fully closed.

    As my other microsoft account was closed, surely there wouldn't be a suffix generated next to the gamertag because that account no longer has the gamertag tied to it?

    xbox one s profiles (family (adult-who occassional plays and 2 children who play)

    Hi.

    So the gamer tag associated with my email (the adult) is there to stay or can I delete that gamer tag and create my own? Then I could create a new profile for son #1 and a new gamer tag.

    I have figured out/created a new profile and gamer tag for son #2.

    So I would like to:

    change the gamer tag that is connected to my email account (the adult).

    If possible I would like to keep my son's gamer tag and just move it to the email account/profile I created for him... (I'm pretty sure you said I couldn't do this but just checking?

    Find account with only gamertag do it possible

    You can contact xbox support by going
    Here
    and they can look the account up with your gamer tag and if they can verify ownership of the account then they can give you the email address associated with the gamer tag.
