    Is it possible to password protect purchases on Xbox 360?


    My Microsoft and Xbox accounts are linked to my PayPal account, and I thought I had found a way to prevent my son from purchasing add-ons last year, but just got an email for a $3.99 charge for a Minecraft skin that he apparently made yesterday. I tried
    to see if I had somehow turned off the password requirement, but can't seem to find any info on that for the 360, only for the One, so I'm guessing I had locked the Wii instead.

    Can I password protect purchases on the 360, that just has the free Live access on my husband's account (that kids use for YouTube and Netflix) or do I need to remove PayPal altogether? My only concern with that is would it affect anything other than the
    Live account?

    :)

    Password protect purchases?

    I had my rock band drums plugged in and when my dad came round my house, he saw them and started thrashing out a drum solo. I then noticed my xbox light was on, turned on the tv to find that he has only gone and bought an arcade game. Duh!

    Password protect purchases?

    My 3 year old shouldn't need to have their own Xbox Gold account in order to use Netflix on the Xbox since MS is moving towards a media consumption approach vs strictly a game console. All other media consumption devices that I use require a password confirmation
    for making purchase.

    Yes, you can set parental controls either on the Xbox or on Xbox.com, this will make it so they can only play certain game ratings if you choose, and that a password will have to be entered in order to make a purchase.

    As mentioned above he should not be on your profile but on his own account

    If you allow him on your profile it is at your own risk

    Password protect purchases

    [quote user="Adaon2006"](which, according to customer service is quite prevelant),[/quote]The issue is widespread because parents (meaning people like
    you), do not invest time in learning about
    Parental Controls    .



    The 360 is not a Fisher Price wind-up toy. The Live service is not daycare. Remove their access to the console and to Live until you sit down and go through all the Parental Control options and set them up with CHILD accounts.

    Password protect purchases?

    I suppose telling them not to buy anything on your account is out of the question?
