If you wish to remove your account from the Xbox as well, you will need to do so with access to the console. This will only remove your home Xbox activation from the console. Once you’ve changed the password, your friend will no longer have access to your Xbox account. Now, you can either set yours as your home device or leave it alone. Scroll down and click ‘ Update‘ under the “ Security” tab.Ĭlick the option to ‘ Change my Password.’ If you’ve logged into a friend’s device (or sold one) and you forgot to deactivate it, simply sign in to your Microsoft account and change the password. But, there is a quick and easy workaround to this. Unfortunately, Microsoft doesn’t allow you to remotely deactivate an Xbox console as your Home device.

When activating a console, you will be informed of how many switches you have remaining, or you will be shown when your next activation will become available if you’ve reached your yearly limit. Note: You can only change your home Xbox five times within a 12-month period, so you can’t keep switching back and forth. There’s no need to first deactivate your current home Xbox, just follow the above instructions on the new console and it will take over as your home Xbox. You can switch your home Xbox at any time from any console you’re currently logged into. Switch Your Home Xbox to a Different Xbox One Select Make this my home Xbox to designate it as your home console, or “This is not my home Xbox” to deactivate this feature.

Depending on your sign-in and security preferences, you might need to input your Xbox passkey or Microsoft Account password
