    Microsoft account connectivity problems with my xbox profiles


    Guys I've been having trouble with this problem for about two years. I've tried just ignoring it but it's just become so annoying. Here's the problem:

    Ok so I only have one microsoft account. This account is used on my xbox right? And like almost everyone, I have more than one profile. Let's say the profile I use as my main is 1. My secondary for friends who come over to my house to play is 2. So it's
    all good on my xbox and stuff, i can switch between profiles.

    However the main problem arises when i try to log into my xbox app. When i sign into the app using that account, it connects with profile 2. By doing so, i can't access my profile 1 or see any of my friends and game captures on it. No matter what setting
    I go to, i can't seem to switch profiles.

    When I go to the microsoft website and view my xbox account on there, it also connects to profile 2. I can't change this nuisance. I've searched through the deepest parts of the internet and can't find anything to switch the profile.

    Anyone have any ideas how to fix? Maybe how to permanently delete the profile (which i can't seem to find how to do)? Or some setting that i haven't found yet?

    :)

    How to Troubleshoot profile-password errors

    It is possible to restrict access to your Xbox LIVE profile from any console by making it necessary to use your Microsoft account password to sign into your profile.

    You may encounter the following errors when you try making your password necessary for sign-in:

    • "Sorry, there was a problem requiring your password for sign-in on other consoles. Your password is still remembered for other consoles. Try again later, or try requiring password on sign-in from www.xbox.com. Visit xbox.com/security if you think someone else is accessing your account."
    • "Sorry, there was a problem requiring your password for sign-in on this console. Your password is still remembered on this console. Try again later, or try requiring password on sign-in from www.xbox.com. Visit xbox.com/security if you think someone else is accessing your account."
    Solution: Set a password requirement on Xbox.com

    1) Click My Account

    2) Go to Settings & Preferences

    3) Select Xbox 360 Profile Protection

    4) Sign in using your Microsoft account (email and password associated with your Xbox LIVE account). You will see the number of consoles that don't require a sign-in password to access your Xbox LIVE profile.

    5) Click Protect Profile. This will make it necessary to download your profile again using your Microsoft account before it can be used on any console. All previous copies of your profile will not work, and any changes or achievements that had not yet been saved to Xbox LIVE will be lost.

    Important: If you feel that your password has been compromised, you can change your Microsoft account password by following these steps:

    1) Sign into accounts.live.com using your Microsoft account.

    2) Got to Account Information, and next to Password, click Change.

    If you are unable to set a sign-in password on Xbox. com, you should check the Xbox LIVE service status.

    If the Xbox LIVE service status is up and running, you should repeat the process later.

    If the problem persists, contact Xbox Support.

  4. Microsoft account connectivity problems with my xbox profiles

    You can’t move your gamertag to another Microsoft account, , but if you have multiple accounts, you can share your Xbox Live Gold subscription
    and content on your Xbox One. To do this, make sure that all of your accounts are on the same Xbox One console, and then select that console as your home Xbox. Now you can share your Xbox Live Gold subscription with anyone else who signs in on your console.
    If you don't remember the email then go here: Forgot the email address you use to log in to your Xbox? Learn how to find your Xbox login.

  5. If you are on a xbox one sign into profile 1 go to settings and under the account tab go to sign in security and passkey.

    That screen will tell you what the email is that is associated with that particular xbox profile once you figure that email out any place that you want to sign into profile 1 you would need to use that email.

    You can do the same thing with profile 2 sign into it and go to that same screen and it will show you the email associated with that profile.

    You can not have one primary email associated with more then one xbox profile because this will happen and not know what profile to sign into

    Kan inte spela online.

    I have solved my problem by buing another Xbox Live Gold, I had one when checking in my Microsoft account but it wasn't connected to my player profile.

    I find this very confusing for a beginner with Xbox. Different accounts(Microsoft/Xbox) but still connected to each other??

    Logging in Xbox Live

    Hey!

    I got it just last week...

    the problem is: I created a profile on the Xbox without connecting to Xbox Live just to start playing the games I got with the console.

    Then this week I created an Xbox live profile on my computer with my Microsoft account.

    Now on the Xbox profile that is not connected to any Xbox live I'm trying to "connect" to my Xbox Live profile that was just created 3 days ago... but the same message appears.

    Thanks for the help! I'm not too sure what to do...

    HELP!!!

    Hi there,

    only one xbox live account can be connected to a specific Microsoft Account, so if you want to 'upgrade' an offline profile to a xbox live account you will need to use a Microsoft Account that doesn't have an xbox live account already connected.

    So if you don't have an Microsoft Account without an Xbox live account connected you will need to create a new Microsoft Account if you want to 'upgrade' that offline profile.

    Just to be sure this is the link with the steps on how to create a Xbox live account from an offline profile:
