[quote name='shadylane']Questions guys,
I'm trying to secure my account by adding a few things:
I added HTTPS on my hotmail account
I created a new live account with my gmail (not sure if I set this up correctly)
created a passcode on my xbox live console
removed all forms of payment
Updated password with upper and lowercase
Should I be doing anything else?
I also have a question about using your gmail as you're login. I was told by microsoft to go into live.com and create a new windows live ID with my gmail account and then change it on the console. Is this correct?[/QUOTE]
For the Windows Live ID part, it doesn't matter, and they just want you to use hotmail, I've used gmail as my login for over 2 years now without issue. And yup, everything you're doing looks good, except for the XBL console passcode, that doesn't actually stop hackers, since its only on your console.
