    My Husband passed away two years ago, I'm hoping to pass on his xbox, but it's currently logged in to him,

    Can I shut down his account without having to log in?

    A lot of companies have some way to notify of a users passing.

    Thanks in advance Shut Down Deceased's account :)

    :)

    Hi there, first of all sorry for your loss, its never easy losing someone and i imagine someone so close must be harder to grasp, i hope you are well and are being looked after by family,friends and loved ones.

    In relation to your question, as far as i am aware to completely close the account you would have to at least be able to sign into the account for data protection and security purposes, which you would be able to follow the below steps

    1. Sign in at Xbox.com. (Once again, this is usually the same login information as a Microsoft Windows account.)

    2. Click “Security and Password.” Verify that you have authority over the account by receiving and entering a security code.

    3. Scroll down and select “Close your account.”

    4. When you’re prompted, confirm that you have read each of the impact statements that detail what you need to know about closing your account.

    5. Click “Mark account for closure.”

    After 60 days, the account will be permanently removed, during which time the account can be reactivated by signing back in. Once 60 days have passed, access to all services that require the associated Microsoft
    account email address and password, including downloaded content, games and applications will be lost.

    However if you are unsure of the password, there may be another way around it, you wont be closing the account as such, but removing all the details from the console so its basically a fresh box for someone
    else to use .

    1. While the console is on, press the home button on the controller.

    2. Select the Settings menu via the gear-shaped icon.

    3. Click through the System link and then go to Console Info.

    4. Select Reset Console.

    5. Click Reset and Remove Everything.

    I hope one of these 2 options helps with the question you have asked.

    In the mean time i hope you have a fantastic christmas and if ever in need of advice or help, then you are always welcome here and we will do what we can.

    My mom's account need verification and i can't send sms code because her number is off (she died) and I don't know the recovery email how i can fix that and bring the account back

    The above does not close the account but helps you retrieve the account of a deceased person.
