Account Settings & Management
Microsoft accounts (external MA link) grant users access to all of Microsoft's products, including Xbox, with one login. To play on Xbox, users must have a Microsoft account. The account can be created using an existing email address (ie @gmail.com, @yahoo.com, etc.) or creating a new email address using Microsoft's Outlook domain (@outlook.com).

Microsoft Family Safety
For the most control over the security, privacy, and content settings of a Microsoft account, the Microsoft Family Safety app uses "parent" and "child" accounts. These separate accounts are connected in a Family Group so that the "parent" can set restrictions on the "child's" account. Types of restrictions that the parent can enforce include: screen time limits, content rating limits, spending limits, and social permissions.
