Security Check Has Locked Me Out For 30 Days?

Are you getting any error codes along with the message?

Like Error: 8015****

Try signing in, each error code has a specific thing It will want us to do.

On top of that, the recent security update that rolled out requires all profiles to have Two methods of authentication.

Meaning you will need at least 1 alternate email, and 1 alternate phone number.

Try heading over to
Account.Live.com Click on I can't access my account.

Reset your password using existing proofs, if you are unable to reset the password use the I can't use any of these options link.

When you are able to get the password reset, log in and it will prompt you to update security on your account.

Add another phone number, email, security question.

If you are unable to reset the password using the "I can't use any of these options" Link.

KEEP THE EMAIL, grab your console ID from the xbox with the most use.

You can find it by going to System settings > Console settings > System info.

Write down the console ID, and the account recovery request number from the email, and give Xbox Support a call!

If you have any further questions feel free to ask!

i am having the same problem and i changed my password and it didnt work so i am wondering if you can tranfer account to somethim else will it still do it

it will not allow u because for some account it needs to verify before swapping or u have to go to account.live.com and sign in to the account once u done that click on security info and update your security proofs then it will put a 30 day lock on the
account after the 30 days has pass then u will be able to the swap with the account

Just so I understand.

You were able to get into the account enough to change the password?

At what point is it asking for the phone number? When you try and put your account on your console its wanting to send a code to your phone number? If this is the case you would still be able to change the phone number for security codes on the account as
long as you know the email and current password on the account. It will lock you out of the account for 30 days till that phone number is updated though.

If you sign into the account at account.live.com/addassocid it will want to send a security code but if you click on that you do not have any of these it will take you to a screen to update where security codes are sent out to and allow you to update it
again it will lock you out of your account for 30 days till where they send the security codes out to is updated. THERE is NO way around the 30 day lock out.

As long as you do not have 2 step verification on your account and you know the email and password for the account you can change the security proof on the account.

Keep in mind doing this will lock you out of the account for 30 DAYS until the security proof (where they are sending the verification code) is officially changed. What you would need to do is this:

Sign into your account at account.live.com/addassocid this will pop up wanting to verify the account with the old email there should then be a choice to change the security proof.

AGAIN KEEP IN MIND DOING THIS WILL LOCK YOU OUT OF YOUR ACCOUNT FOR 30 DAYS THERE IS NO WAY TO GET AROUND THIS 30 DAY HOLD IF YOU HAVE ACCESS TO THE EMAIL AND PASSWORD BUT NOT THE SECURITY PROOF.
