    how to prevent getting past screentime limits


    I have two tween-age boys (11 and 12) and they have figured out how to add screentime to their accounts, even though I have them setup as part of a "family" as members and I have set their screentime limit to 2 hours. I can tell you my son has a passkey
    to login, does that have something to do with it?

    :)

    Great, I see instructions on how to "remove" the passkey. How would I prevent him from creating another passkey in the future?

    Removing their access to a passkey can prevent them from setting or changing the times.

    Hi Momoftweens26!

    If someone has a passkey to their account, they can change that time to none if they wish. I hope this helps!

    Hm. I dont actually know much about that. Maybe the passkey is automatically generated so that you as the parent can access the menu when you wish? I would just make sure that it a passkey is available that they are kept out of sight from it to avoid tampering
    with it. Sorry I couldn’t help
