Sometimes, the forgot password link can save the day. If we can’t remember our password, click on it, and follow the on-screen instructions. We might have to answer security questions or verify via email or text.

Navigating The Subscription Section

When checking our Microsoft subscription, the first stop is the Services & Subscriptions page. Think of this as the command center.

We need to sign in with our Microsoft account. Once there, we can view all our subscriptions

Subscription Actions
Microsoft 365 View Details, Manage Billing
Xbox Live Change Payment, Turn Off Recurring Billing

To check the status, look under each subscription. We can see the plan, expiration date, and billing history. Notifications like a circle arrow mean our subscription auto-renews. Handy, right?

Now, let’s talk about recurring billing. Want to keep it on auto-pilot? Leave it set to renew automatically. Prefer to manage payments yourself? Turn it off with a click. Go to the subscription, hit “Manage,” and choose to turn recurring billing on or off.

We’ve all been there, getting surprised by a random charge. Always verify email confirmations. Microsoft sends these after each transaction.

For gamers, navigating Xbox subscriptions is easy. Press the Xbox button on our controller. Go to Profile & system > Settings > Account > Subscriptions. From here, we can see the whole shebang: our plan, billing history, and even change our payment method.

Have multiple accounts? Make sure we’re logged into the right one. Mix-ups happen!

Navigating the subscription section doesn’t need to be hard. It’s just a few clicks away from managing everything effortlessly.

Here’s what we may see:
