  2. Better management of "child accounts" needed for purchases

    Both myself and my daughter have Windows Phones, however I have set her account up as a child account. Normally I have the setting for "Purchases" disabled, however the process to buy apps on her account when needed is incredibly tedious.



    1. Sign in as child on the zune.net website

    2. Enable Purchases

    3. Sign in as Parent to authorise the change

    4. Wait *ages* for the change to take effect

    5. Go back to the app store and buy the app (or wait if the change isn't in effect yet)

    6. Once installed, repeat steps 1-4 to disable purchases again

    7. Hope in the meantime your child hasn't taken the opportunity to buy lots of other stuff as well What age will the child be able to manage the account themselves? :)



    It would be really great if a different system could be implemented. How about:

    • Child tries to buy the app, a notification goes to the parent to "approve" the purchase, or;
    • The parent is able to manage child accounts directly under their own zune.net account and can buy "on behalf of...". or;
    • When the child tries to buy an app, it just prompts at that time for the parent to login to "sign for" and approve the purchase
    I love the option to have and manage child accounts and the family security settings, but this particular process is really painful.



    Regards,

    Scott.

    Child account

    I did set up a Child account, I did fallow all the steps window ask, the account say that the child is in the family, when I tried to log, give me the message "The Profile Service service Failed The Sign-in. User Profile cannot be loaded".

    Answering your questions:

    • Did you make any changes to the child account prior to the issue? No, I did not make any changes.
    • Since when you are facing this issue? Right from the start. I never got to login.
    • Are you able to login with other child accounts on the computer? No
    I suggest you to restart the computer once and check if you are able to login to the computer. I did, the same problem, I do not have any problem with my account or my wife.

    Thank you for your help.

    David.
