  1. Need help switching associated email in XBLA


    Hello,

    I recently got my gmail hacked, so i created a new one. I have logged in to my microsoft account and deleted my old email account and made my new email account, the primary one for my microsoft account,

    However, when i try to log in with my gamertag/xbox live account it refers to my old email account.

    I need help to switch the email account that is associated with my xbox live account, to the email account that is currently my primary email account on my microsoft account.

    :)

    Gamertag associated with Email - inconvenient situation (need help)

    Hey XB Forums,
    I tried to do a quick search here but didn't see a similar situation posted, apologies in advance if it's been discussed already. I'll explain my situation below and summarize my experience with chat support. Please let me know if anyone has any alternatives or even a different escalation path I can try to take to resolve this.

    Note: This isn't the typical scenario where one wants to change the email associated with a GT and it can only be done via XB360 - that's basically all I found when searching online for my situation.

    I originally made my primary gamertag (MadworldET) several years ago, using my father's email address - I've been using this tag as my primary ever since and have accumulated a little over 100,000 GS and many purchases so I'm fairly attached to it to say the least. The inconvenience is, I am now 26 years old, have my own primary email account with everything MS related associated to it; Win10 PC login, cloud, contacts, etc. but this email has a dummy GT I also made years ago playing with a buddy locally at my house. So I log into my PC using my primary email address but then need to re-login to the XBOX app or MS Strore using my father's email address to ensure any purchase or progression is tied to my primary GT. It's a little convoluted but to make it simple:

    Father's Email address is associated with my Primary GT.
    My Primary Email address is associated with an old unused GT.

    Obviously, I want my Primary Email and Primary GT linked. So I need to get rid of the GT currently associated with it, and move my Primary GT.

    Some additional information:
    • I cannot utilize the Alias function because both emails have a GT associated.
    • I've been told I cannot un-link the GT with my primary account without closing the account completely.
    • Chat support suggested I make a new email address to link my Primary GT to but think this would only reproduce the underlined situation above.
      • I realize I could make a new account and migrate everything to it and then update all of my contacts, accounts linked to email, applications, etc with my new email information, but am hoping that's not the only solution as it'd be quite an effort for what I believe should be a simple migration.
    • I understand the security concern here, but am willing to comply with any requests for proof of ownership tied to either account; Anything from basic account information to photo ID, I wouldn't mind providing this, and can appreciate that these rules are here to protect us.
    Any solution or escalation path I can pursue that's more efficient than starting from scratch with a new email address?

    Thanks,
    Frank (GT: MadworldET)

    Xbox Locked me out of my gold. No way to retrieve any suggestions?

    Hi there, you will need to get the owner of the email account to switch the gamertag to another email of your choosing following the steps here:

    support.xbox.com/.../switch-gamertag-to-different-microsoft-account


    -

    As the email associated with the gamertag belongs to him, he basically owns the account so Microsoft won't be able to help you as you can't prove you own that gamertag.

    What all carries over if I migrate my gamertag to a different Live account?

    If you just want to associate your tag with another email address then everything will go with it. All items are associated with the gamertag, not the email address. Here's a link for you to follow on how to switch the email associated with the gamertag.

    support.xbox.com/.../switch-gamertag-to-different-microsoft-account

    Good luck.

    Why cant i still not change my email address?

    Hello

    How are you trying to change the email address? You can only change the primary email address associated with the account. You will need to add the new one first as a secondary account. Then switch it to the primary one.
