    Password Required Only For Some Apps/Games


    I have four profiles on my XBox One, and for just one of them, I'm prompted for a password for only some apps/games. The privacy and security settings are identical to a profile where this issue does not occur.
    [Mod Removed]

    Some games and apps work as expected, with no password prompt (Hulu, Forza 5, Lego games). At least two (Netflix and Kinect Sports Rivals) prompt for my password. Here's a video that shows what happens.

    I'd appreciate any suggestions for resolving this.

    :)

    2 day trial on gold

    trials do not change your account status to gold. they only give you access to some benefits of online multiplayer. a paid gold subscription is required in order to access features like the games for gold and apps.

    Not a good idea to game share with strangers, since it requires the sharing of passwords.

    Is the account that gets prompted for passwords an underage/child account by any chance?

    Also, you may want to remove the link to the picture of your security settings as it contains an email address you might not want to be sharing publicly.

    Thanks for the advice. I'm not concerned about the email address, since I'm the only one who checks that address.

    Yes, the account is for a child. But I'm not sure if that explains why Forza and Hulu don't prompt for a password and Netflix and Kinect Sports Rivals do.

    How can I fix my xbox 360 to download my xbox one profile.

    Just some addition information.

    You don't need to concern yourself with an App password, it's not required to log into an Xbox 360 profile on an Xbox One. App passwords are only required on actual 360 consoles where the account has 2 step authentication enabled.

    In addition to changing the password to something shorter, be weary of using special characters or spaces in your password, as the 360 emulator in the Xbox One/Series X|S has issues with these as well.

    Family Pack - allow access to certain Indie Games

    @romeo I have tried disabling the restriction on unrated content, but it still requires a password. The only workaround is to allow all game ratings (through M) and then (and only then) will the Indie games mentioned above play without the need for a password.
    Of course, pretty much any content at that point will play without a password. This seems a bizarre loophole that would easily be solved by allowing an exemption to be added for Indie games, or some such other workaround.

    Microsoft Account Devices Won't Recognize Xbox 360 Serial Number

    App password is a two-factor authentication measure for Microsoft devices that do not support other TFA measures. In order to download a profile, it requires an app password.
