  1. Need to disconnect/remove a Xbox Account from a Microsoft Account


    Hey,

    A few years back, I created a personal email account (hotmail). Due to the Microsoft changes this became a Microsoft account. As a result, I unknowingly created an Xbox account that is linked to the email account. However, I already have a Xbox account which
    I use (this one). I should also add that the Xbox account I use, is connected to my parent's email because, I guess, they wanted to supervise what I was on when I was younger (part of the reason I wish to swap Microsoft accounts, and also so I don't have to
    manage both Microsoft accounts).

    So I wish to be able to remove the Xbox account (I don't use) that is associated with my email account (Microsoft account). And then add the Xbox account I use to the email account. Is this possible, and how do I do it?

    Cheers in advanced

    :)

    Xbox is telling me to get Gold even though I have it?

    Another way to attempt to fix this, is to remove the account from the xbox in settings->accounts-> remove accounts. After that is removed login with that gametag again to force the console to fetch your live subscription data. In rare cases your Xbox account and live account will lose sync.

    Disconnecting Xbox one from my account

    in order to play digital games you would need to have the account associated with the games that were purchased and you were trying to play. You can play them while disconnected from the internet but you do need to have said account set as your
    home Xbox in the personalization settings.

    Alternatively you can play physical games without being online.

    If you need to remove an account, it is possible by going into settings > account > remove accounts.

    Unfortunately the Microsoft account the digital game was purchased under needs to be linked to the system in order to play the game you purchased. As long as that account is set as the home Xbox via settings > Personalization > my home Xbox then you can
    play the game with any other Microsoft account attached to the system.

    How to remove account from other console without going onto it.

    Hi, you can try disconnecting the profile from all devices. This will not remove the account, but you will need to log in if you want to continue playing with it. You can do this from the security settings on the Xbox site.

    Hi Laly,

    Thanks for getting back to us. Currently, we don't have a way to choose to remove the account from all your devices. If you would like to remove your account from any device you would have to
    manually go and choose to remove the account through the device.

    To Remove your Microsoft account from your devices:

    Go to Settings
    > Accounts > Your account

    Tap or click Disconnect my Microsoft account, and restart the device



    One thing we have available is to remove the devices from your Microsoft account when you
    sign in through our Device section online, (ex; if you registered an Xbox One S on your account it will show up under your devices section)this will allow you to
    remove the device from the account but this doesn't remove your account from the device.

    Sorry for the inconvenience, hope this information helps.

    How do I un-connect a hacked Microsoft account from my PS4

    Thank you for contact us! I'm Anderson, an Independent Consultant and a Microsoft user like you.

    good evening

    If your Microsoft account has been hacked and you no longer have access to it, you may not be able to disconnect it from your PS4 directly. However, you can take a few steps to try to regain control of your account and prevent any further unauthorized access.

    Recover your Microsoft account: Go to the Microsoft Account Recovery page and follow the prompts to recover your account. You will need to provide some verification information, such as your email address or phone number associated with the account, and answer some security questions.

    https://account.live.com/acsr

    Change your account password: Once you have recovered your account, change your password to something secure and unique. Make sure you do not reuse any previous passwords or use a password that is easy to guess.

    Remove unauthorized devices: After you have changed your password, go to the Microsoft Account Security page and review the list of devices that have accessed your account. If you see any devices you do not recognize, remove them from your account.

    Disconnect from PS4: Once you have secured your account, try disconnecting your Microsoft account from your PS4 again. Go to the PS4 settings and find the option to disconnect your Microsoft account. If you are still unable to disconnect, contact PlayStation support for further assistance.

    In addition, make sure to enable two-factor authentication on your Microsoft account and other online accounts to add an extra layer of security. Also, be cautious about clicking on links or downloading attachments from unknown sources to prevent future hacking incidents.
