    For just about every on-line game they play, my kids need me to be signed into the Xbox so that Xbox Live is enabled. I pay for the Xbox Live.

    But when their allowed time runs out on their child accounts, they just do a "Switch Profile" back to my account (no passkey is required to do that), and keep on playing as me.

    How do I prevent this ridiculous loophole?

    I found this similar post:

    How do I require password to be entered for profile switching? - Microsoft Community

    But that post ignores the Xbox Live issue (meaning, I *must* be signed in first with my passkey for Xbox live to work - sure, if I never sign in, then they cannot play as me, since my account requires a passkey, but they can't play much of anything because
    just about everything requires Xbox Live).

    :)

    Xbox Live ?

    To add to what has already been said (assuming that the parent has the Xbox Live account) set the Xbox that the children will be using as the Xbox Live Account holders (parents) "My Home Xbox" then the parent account can sign out and the children can use
    the Live and any games (deemed suitable) that are on the parent account. You as the account holder can then sign in on the other Xbox and use that to play your games and use Live

    Kujawafamily,

    You should put a passkey on your account. https://support.xbox.com/en-US/my-account/security/create-xbox-one-passkey

    Here’s just a few benefits of having a passkey on your account:

    • A passkey protects against a child signing in as the parent and overriding parental controls. A personal passkey prevents a child from simply clicking on the parent’s picture, signing in as the parent, and changing the child’s otherwise
      parentally controlled settings.
    • A passkey helps to prevent unapproved charges. You can choose to require a passkey to make any purchase on Xbox Live. Setting a passkey helps prevent children from making unapproved purchases.
    • A passkey allows the parent to grant content exceptions. The only way for a parent to override a content limitation is by entering his or her personal passkey, so it’s easier to manage what content your children can see on your console.

    Thanks for the replies!

    So when your son is able to sign into the account on the days that it is set to blocked is it possible that there is also an adult account signed in even though its not being used. If a parental account is signed in at the same time as the child account
    then it assumes that the child account has permission since they are playing together. If the child has figured this out you can Set up a Passkey
    to prevent the parental account from being signed in.

    A passkey protects against a child signing in as the parent and overriding parental controls. A personal passkey prevents a child from simply clicking on the parent’s picture, signing in as the parent, and changing the child’s otherwise
    parentally controlled settings.
