Parental controls

[Kimphatch]

My teen keeps getting into our account and changing the timer settings. He sets the computer to *prioritize* which overrides the time controls so it won’t turn off when downtime is scheduled or he changes which devices are in specific groups. Is there a way to add a password to the account and/or app so kids can’t change settings etc?

It would be your Google Password I'd say.

Or put a password on your computer.

The kids have a computer they can access and that's where they are getting to the google home settings.  Or if they ever have my phone they can get on the app and change the devices etc.  I just wondered if there is a way to require a sign in or pin to access the app information. or to change the settings on the google home account.

@Kimphatch To add to what has been mentioned above, if your child is a member of the home, you need to change their permissions to 'member' and make sure they do not have 'settings' access.

Manage people and permissions in the Google Home app - Google Nest Help

I'll check this.  Thanks!
