Require account holder's password (or PIN) when switching profiles

Related products: Features

Background: I have a Deezer Family subscription and I am the Admin. I have a few kids who have devices of their own and I’d want to let them listen to music with their own devices. I am aware, that kids are too young to have their own Deezer Accounts yet and that I can login with my own Deezer Account on their devices and setup a profile for them.

Problem is that kids can escape their own profiles just like that. I can set content filters (e.g. mark profiles as kids’ profile), but it’s pretty much useless if they can just switch profiles however they like.

So, it would be great if switching off from a kids profile would ask either a password (or preferably a PIN code) of the parent who has actually logged in with a Deezer Account into each kid’s device.

This is a question/feature request that has been here earlier, but they have been marked as “already exists” while that is not true at all:

  • Joining as independent account cannot be done as my kids are still too young to have Deezer accounts of their own, according to Deezers Terms of Service
  • While an adult can actually setup profiles for kids with required level of content filtering, child can still escape their profile whenever they want.

 

So, please disallow profile switching without a verification from Admin.

Hi Jylipaa, I agree! I'm happy to pass this feedback on to the right team!


This really does need addressing, I have switched my family to Spotify because I couldn't keep my children safe from accessing explicit content. 

Would happily switch back to Deezer once addressed because we prefer Deezer in many other ways including having flow and voice search. 


Yep, this is pretty much the deal breaker here. Tidal offers individual accounts (kid just cannot select other users as only kid’s own credentials are in use), but absolutely no parental control over content. Deezer’s “select profile” feature is very good and limiting kids escaping from it would make it solid gold.


more than 2 years has passed and no update what is the status of this feature, because the whole kids account is design by someone without kids I think. How can you make this without a pin or lock!?
