Split households, each with our own XboxOne console for son - How do I protect my security...

Hello!

Depending what kind of email address you have you can try
How to change the email address associated with your Microsoft account. Make sure you don't remove your email from the account if it is an Outlook, MSN, or Hotmail email address or it can disappear. Hope this helps!

Your son's console can be his home (main) console. The new console can be your gf's son main console. Each account can have one (home) main console. It's not really tied to the household.

Your GF's son will need his own account which he will use and set his console as his home console.

It's easiest, and best to give him his own Xbox Live Gold as well.

My oldest son has his own console, his own login, and his own xbox live.

My youngest son has his own console, his own login, and his own xbox live.

The game should belong to my oldest son.

So how does this work? Do I want my youngest son's console to be the home console? Then when logged in as my oldest son on the home (youngest son's)console, download the game to the youngest son's console? Then let my oldest son go back to his console
and have him download the game to that console too?

Then would my oldest be able to play his game on his own console (not the home console) with my youngest son also playing it on a different (home)console, with each kid logged in as themself?

Microsoft is being short sighted with no longer having family accounts.

The whole point behind a family account is that you have multiple devices within your household.

When people buy the new XboxOne they are going to have 2 devices and yes that person can play either of them but not both of at the same time. It means that if a little brother wants to play online with the second device they have to have their own gold
account.

Now I have 3 xbox360's in my household. I bought a family account so I could play with my son, 2 daughters and be online with friends at the same time. This saved me a little money, it was thoughtful. Now Microsoft isn't expecting an entire household to
own nothing more then one single device, and they are not offering households any type of discounts for owning more then one.

So as a family we have discussed it and we will be selling 2 of our 3 xbox306s and using the money to buy a PS4 to also sit along side our two PS3s.

I feel your pain here. I have 3 boys and they each have their own Xbox and I have two of my own for a total of 5 Xbox's in my house. I set my youngest son's Xbox as my Home Xbox, but still have to pay for additional Live subscriptions. I wish there
was a better way to do this, like if each console was on the same network that it would just be automatically detected as being in the same household. People will still find a way to take advantage of and abuse the system, but for most legitimate end users
there should be an option.
