  1. How does "Request Access" for a child account with parental controls work


    I have a family account set up with parental controls enabled for my children's account. Everything appears to be working fine, but I don't understand how "request access" to a website works.


    I have the parental controls set up to only allow my kids to go to 3 websites. typingclub, khanacademy and their school website. If they try to go somewhere else bing.com, for example Edge asks them to Request Access to the website. It even says something like "You will be the first to know, well after us and your parent of course"


    I get the notification in my email and my phone and if I click "allow" nothing happens in Edge. They have to try visiting the website again for it to let them visit it.


    Is this how it works? I would expect the computer to know I gave them access to a site and automatically refresh the page to go there. Is there a way to set that up?

    :)

    Xbox one parental control problems

    Hi AderallAdmiral,

    Xbox One safety features enable you to control what kinds of content each of your family members can access on Xbox One by providing parental controls to child Xbox account.
    To give you an idea, child Xbox accounts needs to have a parent Xbox account associated to give parental controls. If your account is requesting a parental control, there's a possibility that your account is a child Xbox account which is added
    to the Xbox Family on the old Xbox One. Regarding your concern, let's try to confirm if your account is a child account or an adult account. Kindly sign into
    https://account.microsoft.com, then go to
    Family tab. You should be able to see the parent account associated.

    If the parent account associated is available, I suggest that you sign in the parent Xbox account on the console to allow your child Xbox account to make a purchase or play multiplayer. You may refer to this
    link as your guide on how you can manage the privacy and online safety settings of the child Xbox account.

    If your account is already an adult Xbox account and no parent account associated, I suggest that you change your privacy and online safety by signing on to your Xbox account on the Xbox One and perform the following steps:

    • From Home, go to Settings > All Settings.
    • Under Privacy & online safety, select Xbox Live privacy.
    • Choose a default, or customize your settings by selecting View details & customize.
    • Restart your console once you're done.

    Keep us updated with the results after performing the suggested solutions above.

    Parent control in windows 10. The child can access his account anytime he wants, and it does not seem that the parent control is having any effect.

    I have a machine running windows 10. I have 2 accounts - a parent account and a child account. I defined screen time for the child account. However, the child can access his account anytime he wants, and it does not seem that the parent control is having
    any effect.

    Is there anything else I need to define??

    How to remove parental controls as the child

    I'm connected to another account by the family features. I'm listed as the child. I was unaware when this change was made. How do I get rid of the parental settings?
