I’ve been trying to get back on my xbox 360 but apparently you can’t have passwords with spaces in them? I’ve looked into changing my password but my alternate email adress is old and I can’t access it. To change the alternate one it would take 30 days. Is there any way for me to log onto my 360 with my account without having to wait a month?

You can't have spaces either? Thought it was only if it was over 16 characters. But if you can't access the account there might not be much you can do

You shouldn't change your password to a weaker one just for 360
What you want to do is create an app password within your account, and use that
That's what you would do if you had 2 factor authentication enabled as well, since the 360 doesn't support 2 factor authentication

Yeah 100% recommend an app password, but will be hard if you can't access the account

Well they surely can log in via the website...

Thought you needed verification to log in and do security stuff like that?
fair chasm
Well if they can't get into the security stuff at all, then yes, they'll have to wait the 30 days

thank you! I can access my account on the website. It’s just the 360. I’ll do this and update if it works out
