    Manage Child account without Owning a Xbox


    Dear Readers,

    I'm playing Minecraft Android. Since Mojang is now part of Microsoft, the Login is within the Xbox universe. Not a problem so far.

    Now I want to play with my son (12), and I created an account for him. There was a crappy suggestion for the GamerTag, So I've changed it. But now he got the crappy Gamertag, although I've changed it ... Not a a problem I can chage once ... Oh, wait.

    Because he is a child I need to add the Account to my as Family Account. On a Xbox. But as I said I am playing Minecraft on Android, I don't own a Xbox.

    1. Why Is the individual Gamertag, given at creation of the Account, ignored? I think this is a big issue! My Son need to remember another Name, instead of the one he is already using at other Accounts.

    2. I am bound to a Xbox Account for playing Minecraft. I am not able to manage the account without a Hardware I don't need anyway.

    2b. The only solution I see would be to create a new account for him and set the age to 18. An ignore that he can see and access all content, not allowed by FSK (PEGI). Not a real solution.

    I'm a lucky owner of 2 playstation, a Wii and some portable consoles. I have no reason to buy a Xbox.

    A long story short:

    How am I able to manage the second account without buing a Xbox.

    :)

  2. Please up my account as adult

    Promoting a child account is done on the console, not the website. If I may ask, what are you trying to do/purchase without owning a 360 console?

    Parental settings on Xbox one won't let me download anything

    All child accounts do have a default parent account associated with them. You will not be able to create a child account without having a parent account linked to it. If you forgot your parent account, you may reach
    Xbox Support to help you determine the parent account you need to sign in to

    manage your privacy and online safety settings

    2 child accounts with 1 parent email address? Is it possible?

    Just know that by using your own emails to create accounts for children, their Xbox accounts will forever be tied to your emails. All of their game saves, acheivement score, and purchases will need your emails to be accessed. It is always better to create new emails for child accounts so that when they get older, they can manage their own accounts without needing to use someone else's email.

    Xbox privacy settings for child account

    The best way I found to manage my sons account was to create my own account, and then add my son as a child to the FAMILY.

    That meant that all the privacy and security settings are done through MY account using the FAMILY options.

    https://account.microsoft.com/family/

    A much easier and better way to manage your kids, without having to sign into their account.

    Need some assistance understanding my account.

    The link I send you shows how you can share the gold membership and the games but seems you have yet to set up your nephew's account as well. First you should set up your nephew's account as a child's account and set yours as the parent account. That way
    he will be able to play minor's games in his own account without being able to purchase. For more info:

    I can't connect to my Xbox account

    You cannot change your own age from your account, if you have a child account changes can be made only by the account that manages it.

    Hey Patyahun,

    To protect your privacy please don't post pictures with your full name on it.

    I would suggest not adding the main account as a child under another account you made, as the main account is the one that said had had the restriction so adding it as a child account will only make it so that the adult account can only change the privacy
    settings for your main account.

    If your main account is an adult account based on age, then you should be able to change your own settings without needed to create another account to manage the main accounts settings.

    That is only required for child accounts.

    If you can, remove your account from the family settings and go to Xbox.com and manage your privacy settings for the main account.

    Let us know the results.
