    Is there a way to change the email address for giving consent for certain web pages and stuff on only one of the children on my account. I set up a neighbours child’s laptop for them and used my email address for the consent email as they wasn’t available to get their emails

    How can I use Microsoft Family Safety (Microsoft Family) without giving my young children an email address?

    Hi Billion,

    You say that children must have an account on microsoft.com to use Family Safety on my local computer. Unfortunately, a child's account on Microsoft.com require a unique email address. I cannot sign up my children using my own email address, nor can I sign
    up my children using an alias to my own email address (*** Email address is removed for privacy ***) like *** Email address is removed for privacy ***' *** Email address is removed for privacy ***' and *** Email address is removed for privacy ***' because Microsoft.com will not accept email that contains a plus sign.

    This really isn't acceptable and must get fixed asap. It's really not okay for Microsoft to require young children to sign up with an online account in order to use the Microsoft Family product line. There are other and better ways to keep child's information
    secure. Why can't a parent have a Microsoft.com account, and have children associated with that account? That's what Netflix does.

    For parents out there who agree with me that young children should not need their own email address in order to use Microsoft Family Safety, I have created an online petition at windows.uservoice.com to encourage Microsoft to rethink their strategy with
    Microsoft Family.

    Windows 10 Family Safety Requires Children To Have A Microsoft Account?

    I agree that young children shouldn't need email addresses in order to use Microsoft Family Safety (now known as "Microsoft Family).

    For those of you who agree that this new requirement should be changed, you can let Microsoft know via my suggestion here at https://windows.uservoice.com/ . Microsoft uses uservoice.com to solicit feedback.

    "Allow Windows 10 Family Safety account for children without an email
    address or credit card"

    Currently, this suggestion has nearly 200 votes and is in the top 10 ideas for "Security, Privacy and Accounts". With more votes, hopefully Microsoft will notice.
