XBOX 360 quit asking for password before purchasing from Xbox Live Marketplace

I recently changed my Xbox Live password and I must have messed something up. I used to have to enter my password after confirming a purchase from the Xbox Live Marketplace (but not for my machine to log into Xbox Live), but now purchases go right through
without a password entry. I want to revert back to requiring a password for purchases.

I found this page

https://support.xbox.com/en-US/my-account/manage-account/remove-microsoft-account-password-from-console

It says:

1. Sign in using your Xbox LIVE gamertag.
2. Go to Settings and select Account.
3. Scroll right to Your Information and select Account Security.

1. Select Remove Password.

Well, I don't have an option that says "Remove Password"

How do I do it?

How to password protect your Xbox LIVE profile

Xbox LIVE password overview

It is possible to download your Xbox LIVE profile to several different consoles. You may need to do this if you have more than one Xbox 360 console, or you want to play games at a friend's house. In such a situation, you may want to password protect your Xbox LIVE account so that no one else can sign in using your profile.

Set the console to remember your password

Once you have downloaded your Xbox LIVE profile to a console, you will be asked if you want the console to remember your password. The Remember Password option is usually off by default. This means that you will be asked for your Microsoft account password every time you sign into Xbox LIVE.

If you don't want to be asked for your Microsoft account password every time you sign into Xbox LIVE, select the Remember Password option.

Change the password protection on your profile

You are required to set the Remember Password option after you download your Xbox LIVE profile. However, you can change the password protection on your Xbox LIVE profile any time.

If you don't need a password to sign in:

Sign into your Xbox LIVE profile. After you have entered your Microsoft account password, select the Remember Password option.

If you choose the Remember Password option, you will not be asked for your Microsoft account password the next time you sign into your Xbox LIVE profile.

If you need a password to sign in:

You can restrict access to your Xbox LIVE profile on any console using your Microsoft account password.

Steps to follow

1) Sign in using your Xbox LIVE gamertag.

2) Under Settings, select Account and then Account Security

3) Choose the option for Password at Sign In.

4) Select Require Password Here

You will be asked for your Microsoft account password the next time you sign into your Xbox LIVE profile.

How to password protect your Xbox LIVE profile remotely

If you downloaded your Xbox LIVE profile to another console and it is not password protected, or someone has compromised your password, you can change the password from a remote location so that no one else can access your profile.

Change your Microsoft account

1) Sign into accounts.live.com using your Microsoft account.

2) Go to Account Information and, next to Password, click Change.

You can also use your console to change your Microsoft account password.

Note: If the Xbox LIVE profile you downloaded does not require a password to sign in (You selected the Remember Password option), you will not be able to restrict someone from signing into your Xbox profile even if you change your Microsoft account password.

You can remove your Microsoft account password so that other people cannot access your Xbox profile on other consoles. This will ensure that a password is required before signing into your Xbox profile.

Remotely set a profile password from a computer:

1) Sign into your Xbox LIVE account.

2) Under Settings, select Account, and then Account Security

3) Choose the option for Password at Sign In.

4) Select On All Other Consoles.

Once you have done this, a password will be required to sign into your Xbox LIVE profile on all other consoles.

 

can't buy 360titles with Most admired payment option

Hey again Halavi!

To add to what ngocphi has stated above, I recommend checking out our
Troubleshoot Xbox 360 Marketplace Purchasing page for further details on how to purchase content from the Xbox 360 Marketplace. Thanks!

 

here if you want to reset your password go to here:
https://account.live.com/acsr

and that should remove your password and you can put a new one on there

hope that helps

 

I'm not sure what you're talking about because I've not been asked for a password to confirm a purchase in... how long has the 360 been out? 8 years? 9 years maybe...

 

Mine has ALWAYS asked for a password to confirm purchases until recently when I changed my password. I think I told it to save the password on my machine, thinking it was talking about signing into Xbox Live

 

Saving it on the machine is for signing into Xbox LIVE.
