Family Safety

Family Safety is an integrated part of Windows, so it's easier than ever to keep track of when and how your kids
use the PC. You can set limits on exactly which websites, apps, and games they're allowed to use. To turn on
Family Safety, you—or at least one designated parent—needs an administrator account. The kids you choose to
monitor each need a standard user account.
To find out how to use Family Safety, see the topic

Account security

It's an excellent idea to help protect your account by adding security info to it. If you ever forget your password
or your account is hacked, we can use your security info to verify your identity and help you get back into your
account. It's important to make sure you've added security info and check it for accuracy.
To find out how to add your security info, see
Notes
