A passkey is an added layer of security that you can use as a quicker alternative to your Microsoft email and password
When you create a personal passkey, you get the following benefits:-
- 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.
