    Remove xbox profile from Microsoft account


    For a long time I played offline so I have a significant amount of gamerscore and so on. During that time I made an Xbox live profile on this account to play gta4 on pc with gfwl. I'd prefer to have everything consolidated to one account, and I will not
    delete this Microsoft account. Is there anyway to remove this gamer tag or transfer my offline profile onto here and replace it?

    :)

    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.

    Remove xbox profile from Microsoft account

    Hi there,

    is it regarding the email address itself, that you don't want to delete the MS account?

    If so, then you could see if changing the Primary email address for the MS Account will result in a solution that works for you.

    For example on your current MS account (the one that was used for GTA4 etc.) you could change the primary email address to a new email address, after which I think you should be able to use that older email address to try and promote your offline profile
    to an Xbox Live Account. (Be aware that changing email etc can take up to 48 hours to complete)

    This is the link with the steps: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/my-account/microsoft-account/change-email-sign-in-for-microsoft-accou...

    If there are other reasons why you don't want to delete the MS account, then I'm afraid there currenlty are no options to do so at the moment.

    Hi, Mr T.

    He must have logged into his windows account then.

    Select Start , right-click the account name icon (or picture) and select Switch User.

    In this option, you can switch to your user, and also remove the user in question.

    Best regards.

    Dérek.

    If I misinterpreted, and only his account appears.

    Do the following, check which account is connected in the xbox app, and also in your store.

    Hello DS.

    My name is Dérek, I'm an independent platform consultant and I'm grateful for the opportunity to help you.

    He linked his account, correct?

    If this is indeed the case, you will need to contact mojang, who are responsible for the game and the link, and ask them to manage the account.

    It's a very simple process, just leave it well explained in the support ticket ok?

    Best regards
