    Unable to sign in with another account


    Hi all,

    So, this is my first post, I have searched but not been able to find a suitable remedy.

    My issue is, I am using a Windows 10 laptop which I use for my university work mainly however; I wish to use it for the XBOX app also for personal use. My issue, as the title says, I am unable to sign in to the XBOX app using the credentials I use for my
    XBOX.

    When I open the app, it opens and signs me in automatically, I proceed to sign out and the click sign in which then, I'm shown the following screen.

    Xbox App

    When I click on the 'Sign in with another Microsoft Account' nothing happens, there's visual feedback as in when hovering the mouse, the cursor changes to the pointing finger but when I click the link, nothing further happens. I've tried using the tab key
    to highlight the link which it does but, when pressing enter/return/space, again, there is nothing happening.

    I've removed the app, stopped all xbox services, reinstalled the app (including the beta app) to no avail, I am automatically signed in with the laptop account and unable to sign in using another account.

    I've been in touch with the 'support team' regarding this and, despite me being online for 30 minutes, the 'agent' wasn't listening to what I was saying and he kept tellimg me to sign out and click on the sign in with option which I have mentioned above
    doesn't work.

    To remove the app, I used PowerShell using the command below, rebooting the laptop and re-downloading the app(s) only to be confronted with the same issue.

    If anyone has a work around (other than signing into my laptop with another account or doing a fresh install) would be a welcomed relief.


    :)

  3. Xbox One parental controls question

    If he's signing out of his account and still able to play then I assume he's playing on your account or another one on the system. I don't think any games can be played if no account is signed in.

    If that's the case maybe a pin on your account would keep him from being able to sign into another one and continuing?

    Hi,

    If you signed in to Windows 10 using your Microsoft account, that account will be linked to the user account signed in on the PC. The Xbox app will take the Microsoft account credentials you used to sign in to Windows 10 and check to see if there's a gamertag
    associated with this account. Currently, we don't have an option to remove the auto-sign when launching the Xbox app. However, if the Microsoft account that you've signed in to your computer doesn't have an Xbox Live account, you can select
    Sign in with a different account option when you get a page that says "Let's get you an alter-ego for Xbox Live (We call it a gamertag)". This will bring up the account picker screen, and you can
    add the Microsoft account you use to sign in to Xbox Live. You may refer to this link about how to sign in to the Xbox app on Windows 10.

    Let us know if you need clarifications.

    Hey Motion,

    Sorry to hear your running into this error. Let's see if we can get this resolved.

    Here is a blurb from our support article on that error code:

    Solution 1: Did you recently sign up for two-step verification?



    If you recently turned on two-step verification, you may not know how to sign in to apps or devices that don't accept security codes. Some apps (like the mail apps on some smartphones) and devices (like the Xbox 360) can't prompt you to enter a security proof
    when you try to sign in. If you get an incorrect-password error with an app or device, you'll need to create a unique app password to sign in. After you sign in with your app password, you're all set to use that app or device. You’ll use this new app password
    to sign in to your device instead of using your Microsoft account password.

    You'll need to create and sign in with an app password once for each app or device that can't prompt you for a security proof.

    1. Sign in to your Microsoft account.
    2. Under Password and security info, tap or click Edit security info.

      If you're prompted for a security proof, enter it and tap or click Submit.
    3. Under App passwords, tap or click Create a new app password.

      A new app password is generated and appears on your screen.
    4. When you’re prompted for your Microsoft account password on your Xbox console, enter the app password that you created online.
      After you sign in with your app password, you're all set to use that app or device. You will use this new app password to sign in to your device instead of your Microsoft account password.
    Solution 2: Verify your Microsoft account security information
    Follow these steps:

    1. Visit Microsoft account.

      Note If you forgot your password or can’t sign in using your password, 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 3: Delete and re-download your Xbox LIVE profile

    For help, see Download, move, or delete your Xbox LIVE profile.

    Solution 4: Clear the system cache

    To clear the system cache, follow these steps:

    1. Press the Guide button on your controller, select Settings, and then select System Settings.
    2. Select Storage or Memory.

    [table][tr][td][​IMG][/td][/tr][/table]

    1. 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.)
    2. Select Clear System Cache.

    [table][tr][td][​IMG][/td][/tr][/table]

    1. When prompted to confirm storage device maintenance, select Yes.

    Run through those steps, and let us know how it goes.

    Unable to sign in to account

    If you don't remember the password for the account and do not have access to the security proofs that they want to send account verification to you would have to go to account.live.com/acsr and fill out the form asking you questions about the account the
    account recovery team will then look at your answers and if you answer enough of them correctly they will send you an email with a link to reset your password.

    If you do not answer enough of those questions correctly they will still send you an email letting you know that you haven't provided them with enough information at that point if you still have access to a xbox console that has had your profile on it previously
    then you can then get ahold of xbox support by contacting them at support.xbox.com/contact-us and they can then escalate your account up to the escalations team with some more information about your account and the xbox that it was on previously and the escalations
    team will look over those answers and if you provided enough information they will send you a link to reset your password.

    OK, following the steps that Mister Ohnaka suggested will likely be the fastest way to solve this. Can you let us know how that goes?
