  1. Child using parent account - time restrictions


    Hi,

    Bit behind with technology here. Bought Xbox for daughter, set up adult account and a child account for her, for some reason she ended up playing on my adult account all the time as it always asked for my password. I’ve set up privacy restrictions on both
    accounts but the time restrictions don’t work on my account only hers. I’ve told her I’m changing my password so she can not access mine but she doesn’t want me to do this as will lose progress in her games, achievements and points, games she has ourchased,
    add on packs etc etc.

    In an ideal world I’d like to transfer all content, purchases, achievements etc to her child account then she will be happy using that with time restrictions, I can change my password and bingo, perfect solution is this possible?

    If not is there any way I can put time restrictions on my adult account or change my adult account to a child account, delete her other child account (so she doesn’t get two lots of time restrictions,) and create a new adult account to monitor it?

    :)

    Xbox One Child Account Information

    Microsoft gives the parents the control over what their kids play, you go into settings, and you can set up the child settings and restrict what ratings for movies, tv shows, music, and games can be accessed by the child account. If you want your child to play a game that's rated M, then set it to that. Want the child restrictions turned off, then do that. The power is in your hands.

    Thanks, That's alot more straightforward than Sony's Parental Controls.

    This is a huge issue I have been trying to solve as I know many other parents who initially set their Xbox consoles up using their own accounts. PLEASE give parents a solution to this problem!

    Child using parent account - time restrictions

    Hello GlugLug,

    Thanks for coming to the forums with your issue. You can
    create a passkey
    which will limit your child to getting on the adult account. Unfortunately, there is no way to limit an adult account, due to its considered adult.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks,

    Brad

    Content Restrictions

    Hi, is your account under parental controls ?

    If that's the case then the parental account will need to sign in and change any restrictions on your account.

    If that's not the case and your account is an adult account and you also have a child account signed in that has content restrictions set then those restrictions will also affect the adult account until the child account signs out.

    I can't purchase halo 5 guardians req bundle

    If you are 17 and have parental restrictions on your account the parental account will need to remove those restrictions in order to allow you to purchase the content.

    After you turn 18 you'll be able to promote your account to adult to remove the purchasing restrictions and no longer require a parental account.

    GOLD FAMILY ? how to have all members of the family adult and view all content on XBOX live

    If the child accounts aren't 18+ by date of birth then they'll still be subject to the child restrictions regardless of the parental settings.
