A passkey can be used in place of your Microsoft account’s email and password, adding an extra layer of security. The following are some of the advantages you’ll reap from developing a unique passphrase:-
- A passkey protects against a child account signing in as the parent and overriding parental controls. A personal passkey prevents a child from signing in as the parent and changing the child account’s settings
- A passkey helps to prevent unauthorised charges. You can require a passkey to make any purchase on the Microsoft Store.
- A passkey allows the parent to grant content exceptions. The only way for a parent to override a content limitation is by entering his or her personal passkey.
- Your passkey roams with you. The passkey that you set on your profile follows you to any Xbox console that you use.
- A forgotten passkey defaults to your Microsoft account password. If you forget your passkey, the console defaults to requesting your Microsoft account password as a fail-safe.

Create an Xbox account
You’ll need a Microsoft account to create an Xbox account. A Microsoft account is not the same thing as an Xbox account, although you can use the same email address for both.
If you already have a Microsoft account that you use to sign in to other Microsoft services (such as Windows, Outlook, OneDrive, Office, MSN, and Skype), use that account to create your Xbox account as well. Using the same email address to sign in to Xbox allows you to manage your settings and billing information through a single account.

Note that if the person you’re adding to your family group is already part of another family group, they must be removed from the current family group before following the steps on this page.
