Xbox (Xbox Network and Family Settings) Guides

Xbox consoles and the Xbox network let young people play, chat by voice and text, and buy games and add-ons with a Microsoft account. The main risks are account takeover through weak passwords or phishing, scams involving gift cards and fake giveaways, contact from strangers in chat, and unwanted spending. Setting up Xbox Family Settings, turning on two-factor authentication and limiting who can message or invite your child all reduce these risks.
