    Need some assistance understanding my account.


    I just bought an xBox One S and I'm kinda lost on how to do some things. I had my account alread set up a few years ago cause I had a Windows Phone. So all I needed to do was log in to my account on the xBox. It's all set up and running just fine. Now I
    need so help cause I want my nephew to be able to use my xBox and play when he's at my home. It's not a problem when I'm here, but if I'm not here then it becomes a problem. My account has all my credit card info and I set up a passkey, but I don't want to
    give the passkey to my nephew (he's 6 years old). I probably end up with a lot of charges to my credit card. Is there a way to set it so he can play without being asked for the passkey and have access to all my games, but not being able to buy stuff with my
    credit cards stored in my account?

    :)

    With my home Xbox setting now you can share games and downloadable content purchased from the store with anyone else who signs in on your console. You can even share games downloaded as part of a subscription or share your Xbox Live Gold subscription with
    anyone else who signs in on your console. Just follow the instructions in the following link:

    support.xbox.com/.../my-home-xbox

    The link is helpful and all, but it doesn't show me how to let my nephew, which is a 6 year old kid, play on my console and not get asked for my passkey or have access to buy in-game purchases or stuff in the store using my credit card.

    If the link shows me that then I'm dumb!!! lol

    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:

    Ok, just so I understood what I need to do with the links you provided:

    1- Open a new account and set it up as a child's account

    2- Add it to my account as a "Family"

    3- All set

    Is that about it?

    Yes that's about it. Keep in mind the xbox one allows you to share gold membership and gold among accounts.
