When you create a guest key, guests who dont have their own Xbox profile can use your Xbox One console without you being present or signed in. A guest key allows the guest to override any content limitations that you set as the default experience on your Xbox One.

Set up a guest key

1. Press the Menu button on your controller and select Settings.

Note Setting a guest key does not grant access to accounts for which youve already set a personal passkey. For security reasons, we recommend you use a different 6-digit combination for the guest key, one that can be easily remembered by all members of your family.

4. Create the 6-digit passkey using the buttons on your console as shown on the screen. Enter them again to confirm your guest passkey.

Note All guest accounts default to Unrestricted, which allows your guests access to all content. Click Access to content & apps to change the settings based on age appropriateness. Select the age level you would like to set for your guests. The Ratings will update so that you can see ratings as regulated in your country. Checking Hide listings in search, stores, & apps will keep guests from seeing the content that you dont want them to access.
