If your Xbox 360 rejects a Microsoft account password that you know is correct, check whether two-step verification is enabled. Microsoft says Xbox 360 cannot use regular security codes; when two-step verification is on, create an app password and enter it on the console instead of your usual password. This is a conditional fix, not a confirmed explanation for every 8015D002 error.
First check whether two-step verification is enabled
The app-password fix applies when two-step verification is turned on for the Microsoft account. Microsoft identifies Xbox 360 as a device that cannot use regular security codes, so the console may reject the account’s ordinary password even when that password is correct.

If two-step verification is off, this particular explanation does not fit. The available Xbox Support page is dedicated to error 8015D002, but its content requires JavaScript and could not be read here; no more specific cause or complete error-specific procedure can be confirmed from it. See Xbox Support’s 8015D002 page for official error-code help.
Create and use a Microsoft account app password
- Sign in to your Microsoft account and open Advanced security options.
- Under App passwords, create an app password. Microsoft makes this option available when two-step verification is enabled.
- At the Xbox 360 sign-in prompt, enter the new app password in the password field where you would normally enter your Microsoft account password.
Microsoft’s guidance for two-step verification explains the app-password requirement and steps: Use two-step verification with your Microsoft account.

If the app password does not work
If two-step verification is off, or the app password still fails, do not assume the same cause applies. Use the Xbox Support error-code page or Microsoft account support for account-specific next steps. The exact-code page is available at Xbox Support; its contents could not be verified here, so no additional console-menu steps or diagnosis are included.
