Xbox “skip sign in” option

This is the problem I have found while researching the forums before posting. At some point, that option was removed from the settings menu and it doesn’t seem to be well known that it was removed.

Hello Justin Bradford! I'm Kris and I'd be happy to help you with your question.

I believe the setting for this has been removed from the settings. It used to be under:

Settings -> Account -> Sign-in, security & passkey -> Change my sign-in & security preferences -> Change how you sign in -> Guest key

Set the "Guest key" option to "Don't allow".

Was this ever answered. This is still the case on my system too and yes I am running the most recent update

Yes I do have the latest updates as I just bought the system 3 days ago. However I did follow your steps to verify. From everyone I have talked to the menu option to lock out the “skip sign in” feature went away on the last update.

Is it possible to turn on system parental controls and turn off the setting or at least limit access? If I could at least passcode protect the “skip sign in” I would be happy.

Please could you check if you are using the latest software on your Xbox?

To check if the software on your Xbox Series X is up to date, follow these steps:

1. **Turn on Your Xbox Series X**:
- Press the Xbox button on your controller to turn on the console.

2. **Navigate to Settings**:
- Use the controller to navigate to the "My games & apps" tab on the Xbox dashboard.

3. **Access System Settings**:
- Scroll down and select "Settings" from the list of options.

4. **Open System**:
- In the Settings menu, select "System" to access system-related settings.

5. **Check for Updates**:
- Within the System settings, select "Updates" to check for software updates.

6. **Update Console if Available**:
- If there's a software update available for your Xbox Series X, you'll see an option to update your console.
- Follow the on-screen prompts to initiate the update process.

7. **View Update History** (Optional):
- If you want to see the history of updates applied to your console, you can select "Update history" within the Updates section.

8. **Wait for the Update to Finish**:
- If an update is available and you choose to proceed, your console will download and install the update. This may take some time, and your console will restart during the process.

9. **Restart Your Console** (If Needed):
- After the update is installed, your Xbox Series X will restart to apply the changes.

It's important to keep your Xbox Series X up to date to ensure you have access to the latest features, improvements, and security patches. If you experience any issues with the update process or need further assistance, you can visit the Xbox Support website or contact Xbox Support directly for help.

Hope this helps
