    Unable to log into Xbox account with new primary alias.


    Hi. I recently made a new alias for my email since I noticed I was getting tons of failed log-in attempts from random countries (my email was part of a leak a few years back) and I was getting annoyed by it. As such, I removed the ability to log-in with my old email to prevent me from getting those failed attempts.

    However, this caused issues with my connected apps and I wasn't able to access Discord and the like on my Xbox when I logged onto it today. I saw someone online say I could try removing and readding the account to my xbox, but when I tried that it logged me into an entirely new account with nothing on it.

    I've since changed my primary alias back to allow me to log in (after a good 15 minutes of panicking) and everything is working just fine right now, but I don't want to have to keep my old alias as my primary one. I don't want to have to keep dealing with these failed logins on my history.

    I want to know if there's any way for me to fix this, maybe by sharing my xbox account between both of my aliases or something? Any attempts to look up a solution online hasn't given me anything close to what I'm looking for.

    Thanks in advance.

    :)

    Hi there! This is Virginia O.

    I understand that you are experiencing issues signing in using your new alias.

    I apologize for the inconvenienced this has caused you. I will do my best to help you.

    Now that you have already added a new alias, kindly make it your primary alias by performing these steps sign in to https://account.microsoft.com and then fo to "Your Info" and click on " Make primary" next to the alias you want to set as your primary email address.

    So that next time you sign into the account you will be using the new email or the primary alias you have set up on the account.

    Thank you for your cooperation and have a great day!

    Change email address

    I think now i understand the problem of toxxicity.

    You have set a mail adress of your provider as primary mail adress whith which one you are logging in at your Xbox or at xbox.com. Right?

    The mail adress is the primary alias of the microsoft account and can be changed at

    account.live.com
    .

    You can create there a new alias adress and set it as your primary alias.

    With this new primary alias you are able to log on at the Xbox One, xbox.com or other services of Microsoft.

    Adresse de messagerie déjà prise -[Translation - Email address already taken]

    Hello ChloéThery,

    Thank you for posting on the Xbox forums. We understand that you are interested in

    changing your primary alias
    . If you are receiving that error message, it means the email address you want to use is already the primary alias of a Microsoft account. You must first log in to that account. If you need help

    resetting the password
    , you can use our support article. Once you have logged in to that account, you can change the primary alias for it. After you have set up a new primary alias on that account, you can remove the email that you want from it. At that
    point, you can go ahead and use that email address as the primary alias of your main account. Be sure to let us know the results!

    Linking you xbox live account to a new email

    The easiest way that I have always done this is to go to
    http://account.live.com
    and add an alias to account. If you set the alias as a Primary Alias all emails from xbox will go to that new Primary Alias.

    Add email for my microsoft account

    Hello ismo9382, My name is David. I am an independent advisor, happy to help you today.

    I understand that you are trying to accommodate your Microsoft accounts and move your Xbox profile to the account with your most recent email. Here are some steps you could follow:

    Add an alias to your Microsoft account: You can add an alias, which is just another email address, to your Microsoft account. This will allow you to log in to your account with any alias and the same password.

    Set the new email as the primary alias: Once you've added the new email as an alias, you can make it your primary alias. The primary alias will be the email address that is shown to others when you share things like documents.

    Delete the old email: After you have set the new email as your primary alias, you can proceed to delete the old email from your account.

    Please note that if the email you want to add is already associated with another Microsoft account (as seems to be the case with you), you will need to close that account before you can add that email to another account.

    I hope I could help you

    Best regards.
