Windows 10: Website Management - Family Account

I have placed a variety of controls over my children's Microsoft accounts but they don't seem to prevent certain things:

1. My child can create a new profile in Microsoft Edge
2. My child seems to have access to https://account.microsoft.com/ even though it is in the blocked list
3. The web browser history doesn't show up very quickly on my main pc, especially when I have discovered number 1 & 2
4. My child has access to see saved password

Please can you tell me if there are restrictions available for these issues.


Kind regards

family account

Hi Natasha,

About your concern, your son's account is under Family account which limits your child in downloading apps that is inappropriate for his age. To manage your family account, you may follow the steps below:

• 
  Go to
  account.microsoft.com/family and sign in with your Microsoft account.
  
• 
  Select the child whose settings you want to manage from the list of children in your Family.
  
• 
  Choose what to turn on or change for your child's account:
  

• Recent activity allows you to see what websites they've been visiting, what apps and games they've been using, and how much time they've been spending on their devices.
  
• Web browsing lets you choose what websites your child can and can't see.
• Apps & games allows you to limit the apps and games your child can download from the Windows Store. It also lets you unblock any app or game you’ve blocked previously.
• Screen time allows you to set the maximum amount of time they can spend on their devices.

Hi,

To resolve your issue, we suggest that you follow the steps below:

• Under Your family, click
  Remove.
  
• Click the child account you want to remove, and click Remove.
