Games For Windows Live, Unable to Log in.

[TWrecks]

"The Windows Live ID you entered does not exist or your password is incorrect"

The message I recieve when I try to sign in to play Dark Souls. I've had Dark Souls for a while now, and GFWL as well, I've had no problems with anything before, until last night, when it was storming hard. The internet cut out for a little while but it came back on, and I was unable to solve/fix it. I thought it would be fixed today, but it has not.

I have reinstalled GFWL, and tried the Games for Windows Marketplace as well, I can't log in there because I get one of two error codes. The first one is error code 80048401 "Can't sign in. Windows live ID or password is not valid etc." They are valid, I reset the password twice. Email is correct.

The second error code is 80048849 "The profile could not be signed in to LIVE. There may be a network problem or the Windows Live ID service may not be available." I am connected to the internet. I have steam going, and several webpages going to try to find the answer. I updated and reinstalled GFWL twice.

Attempted to get rid of the 2 step authentication process, still didn't work and I believe I did it correctly.

I switched my interent from wireless to ethernet.

I can log into the xbox live website just fine and send messages to friends from there. My subscription hasn't expired.

The only thing I am not sure about is if the ports are open to allow certain gameplay. My firewall is not the windows Firewall, I have Avast.

I use Windows 7, MSI MS-7845, i5-4570 CPU, 16 GBs ram, graphics card is a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770 (Don't think that matters)

Nothing is working, and It's extremely frustrating. I hate GFWL with a passion and my computer was made for gaming, and I can't even play one of my favorite games because of this. It worked fine until last night.

This is probably a long shot but do you happen to have another alias setup on your Windows Live account? For whatever reason the GFWL defaults to your original hotmail email, I had to login to Windows Live and change my primary alias back to the hotmail one as I setup an outlook one. After doing this I was able to sign into GFWL and transfer my saves from RE5.

Games for Windows live is shutten down, but you can follow these steps first and then try to login again: http://www.microsoft.com/de-de/account/setup.aspx it worked for me

Why do people still believe that GfWL has been shut down, when it's not true?
The only thing that Microsoft did was shutting down the GfWL marketplace aka store, the service in itself is still running and annoying.
