[quote]LINKING ACCOUNTS GENERAL INFORMATION
1. There are five ways to connect your bungie.net account. Microsoft Account, Playstation Account, Facebook, Google+ and Bungie Mobile.
2. You MUST ALWAYS have at least 1 way to connect to a bungie.net account. You can never remove all login methods.
3. DO NOT POST YOUR EMAIL ADDRESSES/LOGIN METHODS IN THIS THREAD. Yes, this is a help thread, but I nor anyone needs to know what your email address is. It's for your own protection and you can be helped without us knowing it.
How do I change my password on bungie.net?
Depending on which way you're connected, you must sign in to the appropriate service that's linked to your bungie.net account and change your password from there.
For a Microsoft Account
For a Playstation Account
For a Facebook Account
For a Google Account
How do I change the email address of my Microsoft Account on bungie.net?
Sign in to http://account.live.com/ and go to "Aliases" under your profile summary page. From there you can change the actual email address of your account. This will change the login under your Microsoft Account for bungie.net.
How do I link my Microsoft, Playstation, Facebook or Google+ to my bungie.net profile?
Once signed in to bungie.net, go to your settings page, then click "Account Settings". Click on the appropriate "link" that you want to connect. You will then sign in through that service and your profile will be linked to your bungie.net account.
NOTE: In order for an account to link, it must not be attached to another bungie.net profile. To unlink an account from a bungie.net profile, see the next section.
How do I unlink an account from my bungie.net profile?
Once signed in to bungie.net, go to your settings page, then click "Account Settings". Simply click the "unlink" link and your profile will be disconnected.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
1. Remember that you must always have at least 1 way to connect to your bungie.net account.
2. You CANNOT be signed into the login method that you wish to unlink. You must be signed into your bungie.net through a different login. To add another login to your account, see the above steps.
How do I switch my PSN or Xbox Live Gamertag/Handle on my bungie.net profile?
You must have at least 2 ways to sign into your bungie.net account. If you don't, you need to create a "dummy account" (through http://account.live.com/ or http://us.playstation.com/psn/) and link that to your bungie.net profile.
Once this is done, sign into your bungie.net profile through the dummy email, and "unlink" the Xbox Live or PSN account that you're going to swap out for the new one. Then simply follow the above steps to link your NEW XBL/PSN tag to your bungie.net account.
NOTE: Remember, the new gamertag/handle you're linking must not be connected to another bungie.net account. If it is, follow the steps above to "unlink" that account.
I have TWO bungie.net accounts, how I do combine my login methods together?
1. Decide on the bungie.net account you're going to use.
2. Login on the "throwaway account" that you're not going to use.
3. You must have at least 2 ways to connect to that throwaway account. If you don't, create a "dummy email" (through http://account.live.com/ or http://us.playstation.com/psn/) and link that to your throwaway bungie.net profile. If you already have an additional method to sign in through, skip ahead.
4. Sign in to your throwaway account through the dummy email, unlink the other account(s) you want to put on your "main" bungie.net account.
5. Sign into your "main" bungie.net account and link the previously "unlinked" account(s) to your main account.
I haven't been here in a while and I just signed in and I was forced to create a NEW bungie.net account. What happened?
When you sign in with a brand new login method to bungie.net, if that login method isn't attached to a profile, you'll be forced to create a new one. If you had an older bungie.net account, you must login through that Microsoft account to gain access to your old profile. From there, you can switch around your account links as you please.[/quote]

If you still have issues, tell me and we will try to work it out.

Great help! Unfortunately, it didn't solve my problem, so maybe you can help me. I have two Bungie accounts. One I created on accident, and one I use. It is that way because 3 years ago, I changed my Gamertag, and Bungie names could not yet be changed. So I created a Bungie ID with the same name as my Gamertag. I then found out I couldn't attach my Gamertag to that new Bungie ID. *Fast Forward* I now changed my actual Bungie ID's name to something like my Gamertag, but not quite. The dummy one has the ID that is the same as Gamertag, but when I try to log in on the dummy account, it redirects me to my actual account. I'd like my actual account to have the ID from my dummy account, but I can't reach the dummy account in any way to change the ID. Any tips? Thanks a lot!

BEGINNING TRANSMISSION: (Low melodious hum.) I apologize for the wait, but I believe I was able to recreate your issue and find the proper solution. If this does not pertain to your issue, please inform me. Step one: Create a "Dummy" login account (Facebook, Google, PlayStation) that can be used to link to your account. Step two: Link the "Dummy" log-in account to your "Not Dummy" account so you can unlink your Microsoft account. Step three: Now you should be able to log into your "Dummy" account and change the info. Step four: After you changed the dummy account's information, you should be able to link your Microsoft account to your "Not Dummy" account. If you need further assistance, like I said please inform me. ENDING TRANSMISSION:

Edited by Poetepoet: 12/8/2013 8:14:00 PMThanks for the prompt reply. I indeed need further assistance. I am unable to log in the already existing "dummy" account. Allow me to give the ID's. Current ID: ID1 (Edited on suggestion) (Linked accounts are PSN, Xbox LIVE Gamertag, Facebook and Google) Existing "dummy" ID: ID2 (Edited on suggestion) (This one can not be logged into in any way, the Google account used to create this ID is since then linked to the Current ID). Is there a way to forcibly remove or delete the dummy ID? By asking Bungie perhaps? I can prove it's mine.

BEGINNING TRANSMISSION: (Low melodious hum.) From what I understand, you want to sign into your "Dummy" account, however the Google account linked to both accounts prevents you from doing so. Please submit a request here to receive more detailed solutions from user: Noble Iron Sky.

BEGINNING TRANSMISSION: (Low melodious hum.) I will work on a solution, but in the meantime it would be best to edit out your login information as we do not need it and it is for your safety. ENDING TRANSMISSION:

It worked. It creates a mess, but I logged in to my other (new unintentional) account with my FB account, and then unlinked the PSN account. PSN is now linked where I want it. I'll have to log in with a dumby account to unlink my FB, but I don't really care about FB anyway. Thanks for the help! I really appreciate it.
