    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.

    How to Troubleshoot profile-password errors

    It is possible to restrict access to your Xbox LIVE profile from any console by making it necessary to use your Microsoft account password to sign into your profile.

    You may encounter the following errors when you try making your password necessary for sign-in:

    • "Sorry, there was a problem requiring your password for sign-in on other consoles. Your password is still remembered for other consoles. Try again later, or try requiring password on sign-in from www.xbox.com. Visit xbox.com/security if you think someone else is accessing your account."
    • "Sorry, there was a problem requiring your password for sign-in on this console. Your password is still remembered on this console. Try again later, or try requiring password on sign-in from www.xbox.com. Visit xbox.com/security if you think someone else is accessing your account."
    Solution: Set a password requirement on Xbox.com

    1) Click My Account

    2) Go to Settings & Preferences

    3) Select Xbox 360 Profile Protection

    4) Sign in using your Microsoft account (email and password associated with your Xbox LIVE account). You will see the number of consoles that don't require a sign-in password to access your Xbox LIVE profile.

    5) Click Protect Profile. This will make it necessary to download your profile again using your Microsoft account before it can be used on any console. All previous copies of your profile will not work, and any changes or achievements that had not yet been saved to Xbox LIVE will be lost.

    Important: If you feel that your password has been compromised, you can change your Microsoft account password by following these steps:

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

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

    If you are unable to set a sign-in password on Xbox. com, you should check the Xbox LIVE service status.

    If the Xbox LIVE service status is up and running, you should repeat the process later.

    If the problem persists, contact Xbox Support.

    Hey there The Magic Yeti,

    Sounds like something's not quite working properly with the account. For starters let's have you try to remove your profile from the Xbox One console and then re-add the profile to see if that helps.

    Let us know how it goes!

    8015D002 Error Code

    Hi guys. I had this same issue today. Right email and password, but error saying there was no such account/password. So, I followed various suggestions here and elsewhere with no luck. I then went to my Microsoft Live email account, of course signed in with
    no issues, but when I tried to change the account password, it insisted that the password was wrong, even though I had just signed in with it!

    So, I finally just signed out of Live and did the password recovery thing. I had the reset code sent to my cell phone, entered the reset code on the site, created a new password that way. Then I retried downloading my profile to my xbox again, as detailed
    a couple posts back and this time it worked, with the new password of course.

    It seems to me that there must be at least two password servers for live/xbox. The server for signing into my email account was fine, but my guess is that the server that handles xbox sign ins and Live account security (pasword changes) somehow corrupted
    the stored password. (I'm guessing this since the password workef for email, but not for xbox, nor for trying to reset the password from with in Live's account section).

    So, if this happens and you can not change your password while signed into live on the web, sign out, do the password recovery, set a new password and you should then be able to DL your profile to the XBox again using the new password.

    I have found that I changed my password on my live email and this caused the issue. Signed out signed back in and asked me for the new password. Worked perfectly.

    Hello

    Try the following steps:

    1. Sign in at Xbox.com using your Microsoft account email address and password. Signing in at the website may resolve an issue that’s preventing you from signing in on your Xbox console.
    2. If you are taken to a sign-up page for Xbox LIVE when you sign in at Xbox.com, you’ve entered a valid Microsoft account email address and password, but the account you entered isn’t currently associated with an Xbox LIVE account. See Find your Microsoft
      account below for help finding the Microsoft account associated with your Xbox LIVE account.
    3. If you get an error when you try to sign in at Xbox.com, you have entered an in-valid password or email address. If you can’t remember your Microsoft account address or password, see reset
      your Microsoft account password
      .

    Cant do anything with Skype

    This is how I fixed the issue:

    1. Logout

    2. Turn the console off

    3. Ensure that both your Microsoft Account and Xbox Live ID have the exact same password (this assumes you are using the same Microsoft Account associated to your Xbox Live account as your Skype account)

    4. Power up, sign back in

    This issue started for me after I had changed my Microsoft Account password and then never signed out of Xbox Live. Must have been stuck in an authentication loop because techically the active Xbox login was still running under the old password prior to
    the change and was attempting to authenticate with the old password.
