  1. Profile changes


    Has there been changes to the way we change profiles on the console? If I click "A" on my gamertag should I then be able to change to another profile? If so, mine isn't working. I have also started a game and tried to change profiles from that menu. Not
    working. I don't seem to be able to access the other profile anywhere on the console. Please advise.

    :)

  2. Xbox Gamer-points Glitch

    Ok first off this is real as opposed to the bs on YouTube etc.
    Last week i went to play Halo 2 (Master Chief collection) on my sons xbox one, his profile was already signed in so i changed to my profile which was migrated from my xbox 360. It asked if i wanted to sync the profile and i said no.

    I then thought about it and realized i did want to sync the profile so i could see my gamer points, but i couldnt find the option to do it retrospectively, so i changed to his profile briefly and back to mine. He signed in on his profile to play co-op and upon starting the game (which i have never played) i was awarded all of his gamer points and achievements for Halo 2, it actually took a few minutes as it systematically awarded me the achievements.

    I am wondering if anybody else has seen this?

    How to password protect your Xbox LIVE profile

    Xbox LIVE password overview

    It is possible to download your Xbox LIVE profile to several different consoles. You may need to do this if you have more than one Xbox 360 console, or you want to play games at a friend's house. In such a situation, you may want to password protect your Xbox LIVE account so that no one else can sign in using your profile.

    Set the console to remember your password

    Once you have downloaded your Xbox LIVE profile to a console, you will be asked if you want the console to remember your password. The Remember Password option is usually off by default. This means that you will be asked for your Microsoft account password every time you sign into Xbox LIVE.

    If you don't want to be asked for your Microsoft account password every time you sign into Xbox LIVE, select the Remember Password option.

    Change the password protection on your profile

    You are required to set the Remember Password option after you download your Xbox LIVE profile. However, you can change the password protection on your Xbox LIVE profile any time.

    If you don't need a password to sign in:

    Sign into your Xbox LIVE profile. After you have entered your Microsoft account password, select the Remember Password option.

    If you choose the Remember Password option, you will not be asked for your Microsoft account password the next time you sign into your Xbox LIVE profile.

    If you need a password to sign in:

    You can restrict access to your Xbox LIVE profile on any console using your Microsoft account password.

    Steps to follow

    1) Sign in using your Xbox LIVE gamertag.

    2) Under Settings, select Account and then Account Security

    3) Choose the option for Password at Sign In.

    4) Select Require Password Here

    You will be asked for your Microsoft account password the next time you sign into your Xbox LIVE profile.

    How to password protect your Xbox LIVE profile remotely

    If you downloaded your Xbox LIVE profile to another console and it is not password protected, or someone has compromised your password, you can change the password from a remote location so that no one else can access your profile.

    Change your Microsoft account

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

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

    You can also use your console to change your Microsoft account password.

    Note: If the Xbox LIVE profile you downloaded does not require a password to sign in (You selected the Remember Password option), you will not be able to restrict someone from signing into your Xbox profile even if you change your Microsoft account password.

    You can remove your Microsoft account password so that other people cannot access your Xbox profile on other consoles. This will ensure that a password is required before signing into your Xbox profile.

    Remotely set a profile password from a computer:

    1) Sign into your Xbox LIVE account.

    2) Under Settings, select Account, and then Account Security

    3) Choose the option for Password at Sign In.

    4) Select On All Other Consoles.

    Once you have done this, a password will be required to sign into your Xbox LIVE profile on all other consoles.

    I wished for the same thing as you, but I think this transfer is impossible due to security. Things happen.

    Changing an offline profile into an online profile?

    When I put in my email and password, it tells me that they are associated with this account I'm using now that I've recently set up on the computer. Do I have to transfer this one over to my Xbox?

    Changing an offline profile into an online profile?

    Hey there Virtuo,

    Okay, so there is a way that you can get an online account with your current e-mail.

    You'll want to start by following the steps that Xbox Italy has posted above. Set up the account using pretty much any e-mail you'd like. Maybe create a throw away account for it.

    Then you can follow the steps here:
    http://support.xbox.com/billing-and-subscriptions/account-management/switch-gamertag-to-different-microsoft-account
    to swap your online account to your desired e-mail and info.

    Let us know how it goes. Happy gaming!
