  1. The most redundant password system of all time.


    I recently hooked up my Xbox 360 again to play. When I went to go download my profile, I entered my email, then I realized that my password was too long to fit in the character limit for 360 (why would anyone ever set a character limit on the 360 console
    but not the website). So my password on the website was longer than what could be used to sign into 360 (problem #1). So I had the idea of changing my password to something shorter, sign in, check the auto-sign in box on my profile, then change the password
    back to my universal secure password (18+ characters). When I went to go change my password back, it told me "Please choose a password that you haven't used before. To help protect your account, you need to choose a new password every time you reset
    it." (problem #2) Who ever thought of this? I called Xbox Support and even they couldn't change my password back. Why would this ever be a "security measure"? Let me hook up mobile authentication or something to confirm that I actually want the same password
    back or something, and simply let me change it... If anyone reads this post that can actually do something about this, then please.

    :)

    Is this correct, our premium themes will become redundant?

    I expect you'll still be able to use them but most of the image is going to be blocked by the new interface.

    Fair enough, I just thought that's good, sell us a theme, then make it redundant? I accept it will probably be mostly blocked, but that doesn't seem as infuriating.

    Redund time

    Hello Michal, my name is Oskayra, and I will be happy to help you.

    Beforehand, it is important that you keep in mind that this is a public community forum, so we are players like you, we are not employees of Microsoft or Xbox, so we do not have access to any user account or check anything from the forum. All users help each other with common problems.

    I am very sorry for the problem you are going through, I was researching in one of the Microsoft forums and in this article (https://answers.microsoft.com/thread/8ff47330-a591-48b1-97bb-965ea07a901e)">https://answers.microsoft.com/thread/8ff47330-a591-48b1-97bb-965ea07a901e) Gerardo CG. independent advisor, shows that the solution to the problem can be solved by following these steps:

    Refunds typically take an average of 3-5 business days to reflect in your bank account, but this time period may vary by bank. However, it seems like a long time ago.

    If your refund was approved by Xbox and it's been more than a week, I recommend that you contact your bank directly and ask them if the problem is on their end. When Xbox approves a refund, it is automatically processed instantly, and the time it takes to arrive is usually because it takes a while for the bank to process the refund and sometimes issues can occur. Therefore, it would be good to clarify this directly with them.

    If it happens, the problem is not resolved and the bank tells you that the error is not on their part. Then, follow the steps in the following recent article from the Microsoft forums (https://answers.microsoft.com/thread/e4b765e4-2190-47ab-8a45-bbf1b7eeb369)">https://answers.microsoft.com/thread/e4b765e4-2190-47ab-8a45-bbf1b7eeb369) Gerardo CG. independent advisor, shows that the solution to the problem can be solved by following these steps:

    "If the issue is not with your bank and they have confirmed this after your contact with them, please reply to the email you received informing you of the refund approval. This is the only way to get back in touch with the team who originally handled your refund request.

    A delay in the refund system has been reported by users in recent weeks, but if your request was approved you have nothing to worry about. Sooner or later, the money will be credited to your account."

    Thank you for your patience, I hope everything can be resolved. I will be attentive to your response. Blessings.

    Sincerely,
    Oskayra.
