What it means
Xbox says 0x80A4000A appears when you use or manage your Xbox Live account on an Xbox One, with a message that the console can't sign you in while it isn't connected, which can happen if you don't save your password. It may mean the console lost its connection while saving your password, or lost it and can't sign you back in because the password wasn't saved. The page suggests checking service status, disconnecting the console from Xbox Live, turning it off, signing in, testing the connection and reconnecting. It does not point to a fault or an account block.
