    Security info


    Hello

    How can I secure my xbox account without access to the original email that was used to set it up?

    I need to update my security information as it is outdated but cannot access the original email used for verification codes as it is no longer active and I am unable to reactivate it.

    Is it a case of selecting the "i don't have any of these" when asked to verify identity and replacing security info and waiting 30 days?

    Ultimately I am worried about loosing access to my account so really need to add my new phone number or another email address. Anybody experienced this?

    Thank you.

    :)

    Security Info

    Hey mate, you're much better off doing this through the PC, verifying the proofs through the console seems to never work. Follow the steps here:

    support.xbox.com/.../add-security-contact-information


    If you're still getting prompt about security information after doing the above then delete the profile from the console (profile only), clear the system cache, restart the console and re-download the profile.

    Delete and re-download profile:
    support.xbox.com/.../profile-move-delete


    Clear system cache:
    support.xbox.com/.../clear-system-cache

    Security Info Change

    Hi NL,

    Thanks for coming to the forums with this great question. Following the 30 day period, you can definitely make more security changes to your account, if necessary. Of course, this would mean another 30 days, but really, there's no price on having a secure
    account! If you no longer have access to that email associated with the account, it would be best to add another email that you do have access to, to be on the safe side, and of course, help out with account recovery and authentication.

    Have a look at the following articles, as they're really good sources of information on this subject:

    Update all of your Microsoft account security information

    Add security information to your Microsoft account

    Delete your Microsoft account security info

    Verify the security information for your Microsoft account

    Some of the information may be repetitive, but definitely useful for making your account secure. They'll also be a great resource when making any further changes.

    I hope that this help out and please let us know if you have any further questions, as we'd be more than happy to help!

    Updating Security Info

    @Phantom

    I'm afraid that the only option to get this resolved is by contacting Xbox/Microsoft Support which can be done by Phone or via Microsoft Support Chat. Both options are available at
    support.xbox.com/contact-us

    The people in the forums can't help in a case like this

    Also be aware that this is already an old thread, so for future issues please create a new thread for your own specific issue, it will ensure you get the best support available for the issue.
