    Live Account over 360 and Xbox One

    At the moment if you go to a mates house you can recover your gamertag on their 360, then when you get home you need to recover your gamertag back to your console (unless you use a USB Stick).

    I am wondering how it will work with the xboxone? As I dont want to keep recovering my Gamertag everytime I move from my 360 to the xbox one and back again. Will it let you have your account on both machines at the sametime?

    Cheers in advance.

    I have multiple Xbox's in my house, and use a USB stick to move my gamertag between consoles all the time. It works brilliantly.



    It's quicker than recovering the gamertag. You can play straight away rather than waiting for it to recover.



    It's safer than recovering the gamertag. Your gamertag will always be with you, rather than someone else's Xbox, who thinks it would be "funny" to change your Avatar colour to blue.



    It's more reliable than recovering the gamertag. If there is a connection problem when recovering the gamertag, you can corrupt the gamertag.

    As long as you have the email address and account password you should have no problems.

    They will never recycle the gamertag as your using it.

    It makes no difference if you use the account or not.

    Forgotten pass code

    Delete the Gamertag from the Xbox 360 Console. Only delete the Gamertag. Recover the Gamertag. You will need the Windows Live ID and Password to Recover that account.

    Recovering gamertag

    Have you attempted resetting your password through your email? There should be a hyperlink beneath the sign-in page. From there, it will ask you some of the personal questions that you listed when you created your account, then send a reset link to your
    email.

    If you don't have access to your email, then you may not be able to get the account back, unless you are lucky enough to go through an xbox official.

    Hope this somewhat helps!
