My son had managed to create a second xbox profile on my email.

Hello, I'm Felipe and I'm an independent Community Expert, and I'll do my best to help you.

If your son created a second Xbox profile on your email and you're having trouble recovering it, you can try the following steps:

Go to the Xbox website and click "Sign In" at the top right corner.

Enter the email address associated with your account and click "Next".

Click "Forgot password?" and follow the prompts to reset your password.

After resetting your password, try signing in to the second profile using the same email address and new password.

If you're still unable to access the second profile, you may need to contact Xbox support for further assistance. They may be able to help you recover the account or provide additional steps to resolve the issue. You can contact Xbox support through their website or by phone.

Did thaty. Read that I had to create an email adress for my son. Did that and managed to add him yesterday. Email adress for my son... He is six years old!!!

I had the same problem with my son’s account. Changed every permission in Xbox settings and still no luck.

Then I stumbled on the solution which is as stupid as the original problem….

I created a brand new profile and started 2K23, this profile was allowed to to create a myPlayer account. When I got to the enter email screen I switched Xbox profiles back to my son’s profile. It then lets you complete the myPlayer activation under the new profile.

Ludicrous that this works but ludicrous that the problem occurred in the first place!

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?

I had a me.com (iCloud) account when I first created my Minecraft account. I migrated using that email. Now when I log in to Minecraft using that email, I get my son's Xbox profile. Strangely, when I go to the account management webpage, I see that an entirely different email address (an outlook.com email) is the one connected to that account.

I am unable to find a confirmation email regarding the migration. I know we both migrated, because we were playing the game regularly after the migration was required.
