Parental Control for 1 Device SHARED by more kids

Not sure if this is already possible or not, but I need to be able to set windows-account based time limits for a PC that is shared by the kids.

Recently switched back from Norton to Bitdefender for parental control, but it seems this feature is missing? When I assign a device to the second kid, it is removed from the 1st. Even if it allows me to select a specific Account from a dropdown menu...

Please advise if this is possible, if so how? Or when this feature will be implemented.

thanks!

Hello,

The product is designed with individual devices for each child in mind and we don't currently support this scenario however we will be taking your feedback into account going forth.

Have a great day!

Stefan,

The is a deal breaker for a lot of potential users. I have office 365 for my family, so make this work on a windows device you have to have separate accounts. Each child is a different age and I set controls appropriately by user. A windows PC tends to be a shared device, unless you have bought a laptop for each child, so sharing is probably the normal use case for such devices.

Can you provide details of where you can make feature requests so that your user base can indicate that this is something they need.

Seriously?

Of all the similar products I have tried there is at least one fundamental piece missing.

I've been trying Kaspersky Safe Kids which lacks the ability to add screen time from different devices, when time is up on one device they can just switch to another device and use that device for the same duration.

Bitdefender was looking really promising until I tried to add both my kids Windows accounts on the same machine and it kept changing between them.

Yes, definitely!
