Find oculus email? Or transfer game to another account? Or merge all accounts?

Hello all,

This has been a very frustrating experience. Someone gifted me a Quest 2. I didn't want to use my current FaceBook account (because just let me play without harvesting my data, thanks), so I created a new Oculus account (or whatever this was).

A year or more later, I can't remember the email associated to my Quest 2 admin account. So I cannot cast the screen on my PC because I need the email to login. I searched everywhere in the Quest 2 interface, but it seems there's no way to show the email of the admin account??

So I tried connecting my old facebook account, but now they are two separate accounts on the Quest 2 and I can't access the games I bought through the admin account... I can't find how to transfer games from one account to another (I don't know if this is even possible), or how to merge accounts. I now have a mix of FaceBook, Oculus, Meta, email or whatever accounts...

So no other choice than to rely on support I guess. Already sent a private message, but to be honest I had to ask again for help publicly because I'm very frustrated.

Please help a fellow human play and screencast his game.

I EXACTLY HAVE the same problem. And because of this, they're prompting me to rebuy the apps, which is very scam like if I must say

Hey marumaruro95, totally understand your concern of not being able to log into the original account with your games. No body wants to be locked out from their purchases so although we do not merge accounts, we will gladly help you get access to your original account. We'll need to gather some information about the original account that has your purchases so shoot us a private message so we can take care of this discreetly for you!

Did it get resolved? I got my son an Pculus for Christmas but was not aware that I had to use MY FACEBOOK email to do this set up. I had already purchased games under another email and am trying to link that account which is NOT connected to a Facebook to my the account through Fb which is connected to the oculus. I have went to ADD accounts and it won’t connect. Not sure if that is ever where I need to go.

Support helped me get the email address linked to my admin account, yes. I had to provide them (amongst other information) the serial number of the headset, and to find it I had to watch a YOUTUBE video because it's explained nowhere else (that I could find). The help says, "gently remove the left strap on the headset", well I had no clue what it meant since not a single picture is provided.

 

Support did not merge accounts together, so I still have a mess of Facebook, email, Oculus and Meta accounts... but at least I can move forward...
