If you’re like most Xbox gamers, you probably have a few friends and family members who are always asking to play your games. But sometimes they just don’t know how to play properly or they’re just too rough with the controller. Here’s how to get them off your Xbox account without having to fight:

  1. Explain the rules of the game. If your friend or family member isn’t familiar with the controls, make sure you explain everything before letting them join in on the fun.
  2. Set up a password for them. This way, they can’t just sign in automatically whenever they want to play your game. You can also set up restrictions on their account so that they can only play certain games for a certain amount of time or only during specific hours.
  3. Set up parental controls for their account if necessary. If your friend or family member is younger than 18 years old, you may need to set up parental controls on their Xbox account in order to keep them safe from inappropriate content and online gaming addiction. ..

To keep them out of your account, you’ll need to change your account password… If you can’t do so, I recommend contacting Xbox Support through chat, phone, or Twitter to see what they suggest.

Select the account that you want to remove from the family group. Select Remove Name from a family where Name is the person’s name that you want to remove. Select Remove from family to confirm that you want to remove the family member.

Open the guide by pressing the Xbox button on the controller, then choose Profile & System Settings Account Family settings Manage family members. To confirm your choice, type in a password or passkey. Select the account you want to delete, then hit Remove from family.

If you’re concerned that your account may have been hacked, we recommend changing your password and securing the settings. On the Security page, where you may also remove all recognized devices as a trusted device, you can do so. For more information on account maintenance and protection, see Security basics

One victim discovered a security flaw on Xbox.com, according to which an attacker may exploit an unlimited number of password attempts to gain entry to any Gamertag they choose by learning the corresponding email address and launching the site with a password generator.
