    I'm losing my mind trying to fix this, maybe you can help.

    I attempted to sign in and buy Left 4 Dead 2 (which should've been simple), yet I was stopped by a verify your security message.

    the problem is that apparently my account is now locked for the next 30 days while they update my security (moronic logic) and to cancel this I have to sign in to the alternative email address, simple right? far from it..

    the alternative email address is *** Die E-Mail-Adresse wurde aus Datenschutzgründen entfernt. *** which I've never seen in my life and apparently its the only way I can do anything on my account, so have I been hacked!??? or what? because I'm going insane trying to deal with Microsofts garbage

    :)

    Security update

    When you setup an account and you bring in an outside email address like gmail or yahoo, the system will want to verify that's a valid email address that you have access too.

    If you never verified that email address or you don't have that email address anymore but you know the password for the account, the system will let you start a 30 day security proofs wait.

    The reason for the 30 day wait, is by design and not (moronic logic). The reason behind this is so that if its your account and someone else found your email and password and tried to take it over, the system imposes this 30 day wait and sends a security
    notification to the email address and phones on the account stating "Did you request a security info change?".

    If your account was fully setup, you'd get that notification and you'd have steps to secure your account.

    Assuming it's your account, you can still use the account, you just have to wait the 30 days are up and then you'll have full access to the account after that 30 day wait and be able to add, update or change the security info on the account after that time.

    Xbox Support cannot change this either. It's built into the system to help protect your account.

    Hi folks,

    Sorry to hear about the connection troubles. Let's see what we can do.

    Looking into this error code, it does seem it is related to your profile.
    Below are some solutions that should get this working.



    Solution 1: Verify your Microsoft account security information



    1. Go to Microsoft account. If you forgot your password or it doesn’t work, reset your password.)
    2. Click Edit security info.
    3. Verify your security information. For example, verify the Phone number, Alternate email address, and Security question information.
    4. Sign out of your Microsoft account, and then sign in again.
    5. Try to sign in to Xbox Live again.


    Solution 2: Clear the system cache



    1. Press the Guide button on your controller.
    2. Go to settings and select System Settings.
    3. Select Storage or Memory.
    4. Highlight any storage device, and then press Y on your controller. (It doesn't matter which storage device you select; the cache will be cleared for all storage devices.)
    5. Select Clear System Cache.

      Note Repeat this step three times.
    6. When you are prompted to confirm storage device maintenance, select Yes.
    7. Repeat steps 4-6 three times to fully clear the cache.


    Solution 3: Move and then redownload your Xbox Live profile



    Note If you want to use a USB flash drive or a USB hard drive to complete these steps, you must format the USB flash drive or USB hard drive for Xbox storage. (See
    USB flash drive support for Xbox 360
    .)



    1. Move your profile to a USB flash drive or USB hard drive. To do this, follow these steps:
      1. Plug the USB drive into your console.
      2. From the Dashboard, go to settings and select Storage.
      3. Select All Devices.
      4. Select Profiles, and then select your gamer profile.
      5. Select Move.
      6. Select the Memory Unit that you want to move your profile to.

        Note A Memory Unit can be a USB flash drive, a USB hard drive, or the Xbox 360 Hard Drive. Be sure that you move the profile to a USB flash drive or a USB hard drive.
      7. Remove the Memory Unit from your console.
    2. Redownload your profile. For details, see Download, move, or delete your Xbox Live profile.


    Let us know how that goes, or if you have anymore questions.

    Try pressing the guide button => settings => profile => account security.

    There are 2 options here, password at sign-in and pass code. Try turning those off if they are on.

    If that doesn't work try re downloading your profile. I believe this can occur if you move your profile to a new console.
