Question to safety for kids

Thank you both for the ideas! I will first try that passkey Change .

however, to create a Family would do better, but I Need something to save the datas. Maybe do another account as familymanager and put my first account into it as a child? would that work out?

Hello Antjebeutlin,

If you create a family and try to add your account as a child it will not work as the birthdate is over 18. If you make him a child account then whatever progress he has will need to be done over again. The passkey is your best bet in this case, however,
if the games are free he will still be able to download them even if a rating you don't want him to play. My best advice would be to monitor what he does with a passkey set up, or create a family and a new child account for him so you have full control over
what he is able to do.

Thanks,

Brad

Hi there,

it's advised that a child will have it's own account with the details and age that matches, since that will result in a parent account being needed which can control what the child account can and can not do.

By doing that you will also be able to create a family, with that family you'll be able to control several things. See this link for information regarding a family:

https://support.xbox.com/my-account/microsoft-account/microsoft-account-family-benefits

other information regarding family etc:
https://support.xbox.com/browse/xbox-one/security/Family

If you do want to go for it, then the only downside is his game progress and unlocked achievements etc, these can not be transferred to a different account. (There are a couple exceptions like Fortnite)

You can set your account to be limited to Child/Teen content but you can't block that from being changed, you can set up a passkey to block it from being changed, but that will not be as secure as using their own account

Hi, i have a question. My son Plays on my account on the xbox ad has all his Progress saved in it. now he got an xbox Gold live pass for 12 month to xmas and I dont want him to download games that are not for his age. how can I block These functions - do
I have to make another account? But my account is the first in the xbox and its Kind of a Family Manager....but is has his saved Progress or is it possible to block only the function of download and Kind of it?

thank you for your help!

Hi there,

You can set up a passkey on downloading games that stop any purchases or downloads that you do not want to do. Here is the

Link on how to do it. I hope this helps.

Take care and happy gaming

Thanks Brad,

I tried that yesterday and you are right... the free games can be downloaded anyhow.

So I will create a new Kids account for the games he will start in the future- hoping, that he is bored playing fifa all day ;-)

that should be the best!

Have a nice day and a very happy new year to all of you!
