Method 1: Check Xbox Live Service Status And Retry Safely

When services are unstable, repeatedly mashing sign in can worsen the experience and even cause temporary account lockouts. Instead, sign out if partially logged in, wait several minutes, and try again only after status indicators improve.

Method 2: Reset Console Network Settings And Improve Connectivity

On the console go to Settings, choose General, then Network settings, and select Advanced settings. Choose Alternate MAC address, press Clear, then restart the console when prompted, this often fixes odd sign in behavior caused by cached network identifiers.

Warning: Do not change DNS or other advanced settings given by a corporate or campus network without approval, use these steps mainly on your own home network.

Method 3: Update Xbox Account Security And Sign In Info

On your console go to Settings, then Account, and choose Remove accounts, select your profile, and remove it. After removing, restart the console, then choose Add new on the sign in screen and sign in with your updated Microsoft account credentials, this recreates your local profile data and often clears persistent 0x87dd0006 errors.
