Microsoft.com/link - Sign in to Xbox Account

You use Microsoft.com/link to sign in to your Microsoft Account on your Xbox console. This process is much faster than typing a long password with your controller. It uses your phone or computer to authorize the device.

The code expires after a few minutes. If it fails, get a new code from your Xbox. You must enter the new code at Microsoft.com/link immediately.

➡️ What account do I use? 

You must use the Microsoft Account associated with your Xbox Gamertag.

➡️ Does this work for other devices? 

Yes. You use this same process to link your Microsoft Account to other devices. This includes PlayStation or Nintendo Switch for games like Minecraft.

➡️ The page asks for my password. Is this safe? 

Yes. The official Microsoft.com/link page is a secure Microsoft website. It needs your password to verify your identity before it links the new device.
