Hello!

It is possible to set up an account to require a passkey to sign in once the account is set up on the console. After adding the account to the console, you can choose a sign in option such as a passkey.

Hope this helped!

Hey T SAW DC,

Unfortunately biometrical data is not enough, you will need to type in the passkey to sign in.

If you're about family members making unauthorized purchases I would recommend removing the sign in passkey and making a passkey only for making purchases.

Check Settings - Account - Sign in, security & passkey - Instant sign in (your GT should be displayed on this prompt) - Stop using Instant sign-in on your console OR try add a Passkey for sign-in first to see if that works for your needs.

You also have the option of linking a controller to your profile (This controller signs in) which you may want to ensure is set to using a Passkey that only you know.

I recommend that you review the Change my sign-in & security preferences section and ensure that the settings match how you want your console to be used. I recommend the Customize option which allows you to select each of the sub-categories individually.
For example:

Save your Microsoft account credentials - Credentials saved

Delay automatic sign-in - Don't ask, just sign me in (good if you only use one console, best to use Ask option if you use your profile on more than one console)

Ask for my passkey at sign-in - Passkey required (recommended if you link to controller that others may also use)

Ask for my passkey to change settings - Passkey required (best if you don't want others making changes)

Ask for my passkey to make purchases - Passkey required (best if others also use your console to limit purchases)

Good luck!

Check the settings. I have a passkey because my kids were buying avatar gear. The passkey its only asked when I try to pruchase something not to sign in.
