Why do child family accounts require email and passwords? RIDICULOUS!

This isnt the 90s

You can create guest accounts but they cant downloaf content or use online content

Every account doesnt meed gold only the master account all consoles require this including nintendo or sony or amy online service period

You always needded to have an email and password for online accounts you should know that as a it professional

Regardless of system any online service requires registration also the parent accepting the terms of use

You can set conditions to prevent purchasing power thats what parental settings are for requires a password too

It doesnt need gold as long as you set your children up for child accounts and home console is set to limit use of the master account payment option your fine

Hey there PSUHammer!

Sorry to hear about any frustrations that this may have caused. If you would like to provide suggestions and ideas regarding the Xbox One console and Xbox Live features, I recommend making a post on our Xbox Feedback page.
If you find that your suggestions have already been posted, feel free to vote on it. Thanks!

Sorry you’re having the issue. If you’re very serious about your child’s access, there is a way to limit the child’s access. It’s not as clean as the Family Timer color code setting but may be effective for you.

Here’s what you might do - require as password to access the Xbox. You will have to enter the password each time your child accesses the Xbox console and keep the password from your child:

1. Change your account (or your child’s account) password. You can do this on your PC (not your Xbox) as not to alert the child to your determination to limit his/her access. You can change your account password at this link:

support.xbox.com/.../change-microsoft-account-password which will walk you through some security information for the console and guide you through the password change.

Be sure that your account proofs are up-to-date. Optionally you can require another password to access the Xbox console through Two Step Verification. The Xbox will require another (separate) password in order for the console to be accessed.

2. If your child has access to the email address associated with the account you can create a live.com email address at the account information screen. Have all of your account information come to the live.com address you create which will be password
protected with the password you just created.

3. Now you’re set to require a password to access the Xbox. On the Xbox navigate to Settings, then Profile, then Account Security, then password sign in and select “require password here”.

The console will now require the password you created in step one above (or the password created in the Two Step Verification) in order to be accessed.

I know it’s a hassle but it might serve your purpose until the Family Timer code issue is fixed.
