  1. Password setting smells like dark pattern?


    I am setting up my Xbox and under password options it seems like all or nothing?

    I only need password for purchased but it seems like it is all or nothing?

    Your kids will know that password in no time when you get tired of having to come and type in the password all the time.

    Why is there not an option for purchase only password?

    How is the return policy for when your kids discover the password and go crazy?

    Seems likea bad dark pattern to me?

    I will not put me creditcard on the xbox for that reason. I tried to purchase a month og ultimate as a gift but the the gift option is atleast 3 months at almost 100$ !!!

    how do i just buy a single month ultimate without having to join a subscription?

    :)

    Also, if you would like your account to be auto signed in whenever you turn your Xbox console on:

    Settings > Account > Sign-in, security & passkey > Instant sign-in

    To the Right of the "Lock it down" option, there should be a "customize" option, select that tab. This will display your customized options for signing in, when/where to ask for passkeys etc. You can customize each option to your personal preference.

    I do not have that option .. I have 3 options.

    - No barriers.. all unlocked

    - Ask for my passkey... for sign in, settings and purchase.

    - Lock it down.. all locked.

    I use “ask for passkey” but it still wants password for sign in and simple things as change wallpaper and so on.

    How did you get the password for purchase only?

    You have no option to just put password on purchases?

    i do not want to enter password for small stuff lile install or delete or change background color. Just password for purchase but it looks like it is not possible in an easy way atleast.. still have not found a way. I would call that a dark pattern.

    Another dark pattern is that to signup is as easy as Push a button on the main screen

    But you join a subscription! and to remove is a process that uses explorer And far more presses than actual signup.

    This is a shameful dark pattern and xbox team should be ashamed
