I see, two years and the password box before switching an account isn’t here. This is mainly a security issue and you can’t solve it for over two years?

So, the application isn’t usable for parents and families.

Is there any update on this please?

I see there are now independent accounts, but these are only for 16+, whereas my children are all 10 or under, so I need to use a Kids Profile for each.

This works when connecting via a Google Home, but when using the Deezer app, they can easily switch to the Admin account.

So they need their own login, or the app needs a way of selecting the Kids profile & not allow the switching,

Jaime.

Hi @Lukáš Benda as I mentioned to other user, you are right we don’t have a password box. However what we have now is a way to convert a Deezer profile into and independent account as you can see in the following link: https://support.deezer.com/hc/en-gb/articles/360007641517

Hi Jamie,

Thank you for your reply, however I've already ticked the 'Hide Explicit Content' box on the kids profiles - that wasn't my question. 

As things stand the kids profiles are in effect useless, as if they're logged into the website or via the app, they can very easily switch to the main Admin account & cause all kinds of trouble. 

So unless they ONLY ask for music via their Google Home, & never want to do anything like create Playlists, then they're redundant. 

I chose Deezer after Google Play Music was retired & YouTube Music doesn't allow accounts under 13, so it's a real shame this massively important security feature hasn't been thoroughly thought through. 

Please help all of us with small children to make this change in the app. 

Thanks,

Martin
