However, these settings can be easily modified if a user knows how to sign in, which is why limiting access in Microsoft Family is just as essential. And there are two ways to do just that. How to Change Sign-in Settings on Microsoft Family? One way is to do it online. Go to the Microsoft Family Safety homepage, click on Family, and select a member. Find the Sign-in to this PC option, toggle Allow or Block, and click Save. Another is through Windows Settings. Head to the Accounts section, and find Family & other users. Again, select a member, toggle Allow or Block, and save. Do note that this method requires admin controls under the account’s official family organizer.
