I think the thread title is still misleading.

Most news media have headlines like this:
"Five-year-old boy discovers serious Xbox security flaw and hacks into dad's account"
"Five-year-old hacks Xbox, discovers security flaw"
"5-year-old cracks Xbox One security by discovering simple flaw"

They don't mention Xbox >LIVE<, and I believe that this is correct, because the security flaw was probably not related to XBL, the online service.

That's because they don't realize this has everything to do with LIVE...on XB1. As far as I know, you don't need passwords to log into different XB1 accounts, unless we're talking about Live accounts.

Actually it has nothing to do with Live. Its a securitty feature that stops his kids playing rated games. Which works offline. So yes the thread title is 100% wrong.

And where did you see it was this feature that his dad was using?

"Kristoffer's parents noticed he was logging into his father's Xbox Live account and playing games he wasn't supposed to be."

Seems pretty clear to me.

They misuse the word Xbox Live. He was playing games he wasnt supposed to be. Rated games. I own onne and use this so my  daughter doesnt play games she isnt supposed to.

Its not Xbox Live. Its a password to use his profile. Where no games are blocked. This works offline. Its essentially like locking your phone. Dont try and tell me I dont know how my Xbox One works.
