  1. Question related to 2 factor authentication


    I am currently in the process of composing the following inquiry for the Microsoft forum. My primary Microsoft account is linked with Outlook. Additionally, I have associated two Gmail accounts for Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) purposes. It is worth noting that I also utilize my PC password as a means of unlocking my system. Unfortunately, my primary Microsoft account was unexpectedly disabled due to a perceived violation of the Terms of Service (TOS). Regrettably, I am uncertain about the specific reason for this action, as my primary use of the account was for playing Minecraft.



    While attempting to resolve this matter, I came across a Microsoft video on YouTube, which indicated that accounts linked with 2FA may not be recoverable. I noticed many comments on the video from individuals who, like myself, primarily used their accounts for gaming. As a result, I am contemplating the possibility of permanently deleting my two Gmail accounts in order to remove them from the 2FA configuration on my Microsoft account. It is important to clarify that the PC password I employ for login purposes is not technically considered 2FA.



    My main query is whether deleting these two Gmail accounts would effectively remove the 2FA association from my Microsoft account. This action is being considered as a potential solution to regain access to my disabled account. I kindly request guidance and insights from the community on the viability of this approach for resolving my predicament.

    :)

    Question related to 2 factor authentication

    Hi Pranjal. My name is Kyle and I'm an independent advisor.

    Deleting the Gmail accounts would not remove 2FA from your Microsoft account. The only way to remove 2FA is from your Microsoft account's settings.

    Please reach back if you have further questions.

    Thanks,
    Kyle

    2 factor authentication question

    Hello SigmaTheDJ,

    I apologies for the issue you are having when using 2-step authentication. However, to make your Xbox One a trusted device with your account you will need to get a Password from your live account settings. This can be found at:
    account.live.com/.../Manage When asked to enter the password to your Microsoft account linked with your profile, please generate a code from the 2-step authentication. Then enter that code
    on the Xbox. Please keep us updated...

    Thank you!

    if you cannot access the account due to forgetting the password and not having 2 factor authentication on then they have to ask other questions to prove the account is yours, this is the same with other companies too.
