Family time limits and ways to override

Nub1 · Dec 13, 2018

Hello,

I currently have time restrictions setup for a family member, both total time per day, as well as hours of usage on a XBOX one system. If that family member were to somehow get the parent member password and successfully request more more time, would that
override the time limits and hours allowed?

Thank you.

Short answer, Yes. If they have your account info, they can change any child settings as if they were you.

Best,

If they have the password, they have full access. Changing the password to something hard to guess or use is suggested.

Write down the password maybe and save it to a notes app on your phone could help.

The parent account has access to screen time limits. If you are the parent, I would suggest you set a strong password and never allow your child access to it.

Hi

As stated already, If they have the passwords they can override things, You should set up 2 step verification so every time someone logs in they need your approval first

Thanks Nozzle,

Further to this, is there any logging available on the XBOX One that would allow me (parent) to see when my PIN was used to extend screen time hours by any other family member?
