Change password for childs account for xbox

Hello goboilers777,

Thank you for keeping us updated. The passkey is only for the Xbox. If the child knows the email address and password, the child will be able to change the family settings from a cell phone or computer. The best way to manage the security of the family settings
is to set up the passkey on the console as recommended above and
change the password of the adult account. If the child has access to the
security information of the account, the child will be able to reset the password. In the event of attempting to change the password, the Microsoft account will send a verification code to the security information of the account. As long as the child does
not have access to the security information, access to the password or access to the passkey; the child will not be able to change the family settings.

Sorry you’re having the issue. If you’re very serious about your child’s access, there is a way to limit the child’s access. It’s not as clean as the Family Timer color code setting but may be effective for you.

Here’s what you might do - require as password to access the Xbox. You will have to enter the password each time your child accesses the Xbox console and keep the password from your child:

1. Change your account (or your child’s account) password. You can do this on your PC (not your Xbox) as not to alert the child to your determination to limit his/her access. You can change your account password at this link:

support.xbox.com/.../change-microsoft-account-password which will walk you through some security information for the console and guide you through the password change.

Be sure that your account proofs are up-to-date. Optionally you can require another password to access the Xbox console through Two Step Verification. The Xbox will require another (separate) password in order for the console to be accessed.

2. If your child has access to the email address associated with the account you can create a live.com email address at the account information screen. Have all of your account information come to the live.com address you create which will be password
protected with the password you just created.

3. Now you’re set to require a password to access the Xbox. On the Xbox navigate to Settings, then Profile, then Account Security, then password sign in and select “require password here”.

The console will now require the password you created in step one above (or the password created in the Two Step Verification) in order to be accessed.

I know it’s a hassle but it might serve your purpose until the Family Timer code issue is fixed.

I also suggest you look into changing your child to a child account if they are not, if they are turn off the ability to make purchases. If your child knows your account information change it, immediately update your password.

hi

is it possible to go to the epic games website and create an epic games account, login with that account on the site and then go into that account and then link that to one of the xbox accounts thats a child account? does the child account not have their
own email address and password? if not then the only way i can think of is to change it so their accounts have their own email address and password so that it can be linked to an epic games account.

Hi,

To change privacy and safety settings for you or a child

1. Sign in to the adult's Microsoft account.
2. If you’ve forgotten your account email address or password, see the Lost Account Solution or the Lost
   Password Solution.
3. To change settings for yourself, continue to step 5.
4. To change settings for a child, choose the gamertag for your child's account.
5. Select the tab for Xbox One/Windows 10 Online Safety or Privacy. Review the current settings and update any that you want to change.
6. Select Save before leaving or switching to another tab. If you don't save the changes before you move to the other tab, your changes won't be saved.
7. If you changed settings for your child, have them sign in and then sign out of their account to make the changes take effect.

Best regards
