Windows 10: Children shouldn’t have email accounts

My five year old wants to have her very own account on my computer. I tried to set one up for her and cant find a way to do so without creating an email account. Allow me to reiterate that she is FIVE. She wants to be able to have her own background and play games that she enjoys on my computer. I want her to be able to do that. I am not willing to put her safety at risk in order to do so. Since when did child safety become of no concern to Microsoft? Is there a way to bypass this?

adding user accounts for children

The customer:

"It is overbearing for Microsoft to require children to either have an e-mail or phone number"

The (unhelpful technician):

"I suggest you to follow the steps how to create the child account as below and check if it helps.

• Press Windows key and select settings.
• Click on Account and select Family and other users.
• Then click add someone else to this pc and select add child’s account
• Enter the child’s email address and click on Next."

This is becoming such a trend. Please read the details that someone has gone to the trouble of providing so that you can respond HELPFULLY.

 

Unauthorized Emails from my account?

It is more than likely that your email account was hacked, either by a virus sniffing your password, or just simply hacked.

Either way, change your password on your email account. Unfortunately the damage by already be done. They already have your contact list and your email address associated with that contact list. There is nothing stopping them from sending out emails using their own SMTP servers to everyone on your contact list and claiming the emails are from your email address. They don't actually have to have access to your yahoo account or even any yahoo server to send emails to people that come from your address.

 

Childrens accounts and email accounts

I want the security and parental controls of the childrens accounts but I do not want them having access to email. How do I set up their accounts without having to create an email for them?
