Tutorial: Teach you to easily rename WP8.1 Microsoft account

Computer store news:

In the Windows Phone 8 system version, if you change the main alias of the Microsoft account address, you are required to hard reset Normal use. Microsoft has fully supported Microsoft account aliases in Windows Phone 8.1, setting a new primary alias (ie rename) has no need to reset, as suggested by Microsoft Eric Doerr.

This also means renaming your Microsoft account without having to reset your WP8.1 phone. Next is the details:

What is a Microsoft account alias?

Microsoft Account Alias ​​(Aliases) is a feature of Microsoft accounts. Your account can have multiple aliases, each of which is an email address. You can use each alias to log in to all devices and services that use a Microsoft account, share the same password, and you can send and receive mail using each alias separately.

One of the accounts is the primary alias. This primary alias will be displayed on the device and service. Any alias can be set to the primary alias – this operation can also be renamed:

• Access the Microsoft Account Alias ​​Administration page

• Add an alias

• Create a new email address and add it as an alias (@outlook.com), or Adding additional email addresses as aliases

• Setting the newly added aliases to "main" is a renaming

Based on Johan van Mierlo's attempts If you set the other Microsoft account aliases as the primary alias, Windows Phone 8.1 will prompt you to re-enter the account password to implement the modification of the account alias without resetting the phone.

On Windows 8.1 and Xbox One devices, you only need to log out of the current account, and you will see the automatically updated account address when you return to the login screen.
