Setting up child #Microsoft/#Xbox accounts for my 2 youngest kids.... was just about the most unfriendly user experience I've ever had.
The Live ecosystem that MS uses for accounts just redirects you constantly, forgets who's logged in. Keeps having to re-authenticate me but sometimes it asks for an email sometimes it emails a code. It's anybody's guess!
So I'm juggling access to my email, my 2 kids' emails. Some stuff needs an app because the website can't do it. I had 3 browsers open....
