Family Account
Levi Satterley
You can create a Google Account for your child under 13 (or the applicable age in your country), and manage it using Family Link. With Google Accounts, children get access to Google products like Search, Chrome, and Gmail, and you can set up basic digital ground rules to supervise them.
Tip: You may need to add a Gmail address and password to your child's account to enable them to access certain apps and services. You can upgrade your child's account from a blocked app or through Family Link.
To create a Google Account for your child, you're required to give parental consent. One way to provide consent is by using your credit card. While you won't be charged a fee, a temporary authorization may be placed on your card to verify that it's valid. In most cases, temporary authorizations are removed from your account within 48 hours.
I know this post is six months old, but I have a follow-up question on the same scenario. My question: Does the remaining time on an individual premium subscription get applied towards the Families upgrade?
Just to be clear If I have had a premium subscription. And I would create a family organization. I could cancel my individual plan cause all premium fetures would also be already provided by the family plan.
I currently have my own Plus account and realize my wife can't access the images I have there as her account doesn't have enough space. Looks like having a Family account is a good solution so how best to migrate there? Also, I purchased the Plus account through my iOS app, so does that make the whole conversion process different? Thanks!
Yeah well turns out that in the worst-case scenario, you've got to wait 1.5 months. What happened is that on Feb 18 (end of the billing cycle) I got a message that payment cannot proceed (I've canceled my ios subscription) and then it seems like I've got to wait another 3 weeks until the downgrade to Basic happens.
This is a terrible UX for a paying customer to be honest. As a software engineer myself, I don't understand what is the problem to fix it really. I imagine it is a more or less regular case for people, who learn about 30% of Apple's tax on subscriptions.
How does it work if I already have a family account and my company decides to switch to 1Password for teams?
Will I be able to leave everything like it is now but get an additional vault provided by my company?
Will I save money on paying for my family account?
For some background, every 1Password account is its own isolated "silo" - so if you have two 1Password accounts, you'll sign into them separately to view each set of vaults and maintain them. That said, you can add both accounts (personal and work) to the 1Password applications on your devices to view vaults from both your accounts.
If you're already part of a team using 1Password, and your company signs up for 1Password, they'll invite you as a separate user on that account. You can use the same account password to access your new company account. Each account will remain protected by a unique Secret Key.
Absolutely. Your existing family account will remain fully intact and unchanged after you join your team using 1Password. When you join the 1Password account managed by your company you'll sign in to that account separately, which comes with its own vaults.
If your company subscribes to 1Password Business, you'll be able to link your family account to your business, providing you with free 1Password Families membership so long as your company remains subscribed. This offer isn't available to 1Password Teams, however, so if that's the account type your company starts using, it would be recommended to keep maintaining your family account with your own subscription.
That's correct. Each 1Password account comes with its own Private or Personal vault. You can store and access your SSH keys in these types of vaults. 1Password Teams and Business are no different in that you get your own Private vault as a team member, where these work-related SSH keys can live and be used on your devices.
Hi @ag_max ,
Thank you for the in-depth explanation. Now I have a much clearer picture.
Is it correct that I will be able to unlock my 1Password with my one password or biometrics after I authenticate to my work account just once?
Did I understand you correctly that I can use two vaults with the SSH keys simultaneously as long as these are two private vaults of different accounts?
My understanding is the Fitbit Family Account has been set to End-of-Life as a service. In other words, they are not adding any more Family Accounts and continuing to support existing ones until they "sunset" (i.e. shutdown) the service altogether. This is due to the Google purchase of and subsequent integration with Fitbit.
From here and into the future, new users will be required to use their Google account, and this will be the authentication method of choice for use the service. There's precedence for this with the purchase of Nest by Google some years back.
Unfortunately, this has created an issue for anyone looking to setup an ACE-series device (restricted to use by children by Fitbit) or use their Supervised Google Account (accounts intended for children 13 and younger). The Supervised Google Account is managed by the Google Family Link service where a parent can create or "adopt" an existing account for their child. This is fairly straightforward to do, but the problem lies with the integration. Currently, the Fitbit app is restricted by Google and may not be used with Supervised Accounts.
That said: there is a possibility they're in the process of addressing this issue. I was recently directed by Fitbit Support to create a new Supervised Google Account on Family Link to see if this new child's account might be authorized. While they theorize this would work with a new account, it does not address any existing Supervised Google Accounts. For my end, I'm pushing them to address the existing accounts (as I have no interest in two accounts for one child and have an established set of guardrails for my youngster). I would be curious to know if adding a new Supervised Account to the Family Link today will actually work.
What in the actual eff. I bought this Ace 3 with the intent on managing my kids activity. This watch is now nerfed and I can't send activities or monitor my kids anymore.. also great they made the cutoff right before Christmas when we opened the **ahem** thing. I'm returning this crap after having to do so much work to even get it to sync with a Google account... I had to get an OLD phone and set that up for my son, now it means nothing but an added step to do account because of Family Link. Eff this nonsense.
I was FINALLY able to get this thing to work!! What seems to work for others did not work for me, and likewise this may not fix anyone else, but considering I spent 1.5 hours trying to make this work I wanted to share.
Next, while I already had a gmail account for my child that was part of the Google Family Account, I had to create a new one. This is what I was stuck on the longest and it was maddening. Prior to creating new child account I was stuck in a loop because the Fitbit app will not allow old supervised accounts to access the app. Creating new child account through the Family Account link previously shared on the forum, or even trying to create a new account through the Family Account site failed with errors. I ended up going to the main Google page, navigating to gmail and creating new account this way. During creation I was prompted to join it to my Family Account as it recognized this as a child account (due to birthdate) and I was still signed in.
Then, ensuring I was logged completely out of the Fitbit app, I logged in with the new child account. Immediately it prompted for an adult and I created a Fitbit account for my child after verifying by putting in my own Google account creds. Only then FINALLY was I able to add the Ace 3 to the account while logged in as my child.
I purchased the Ace 3 second hand because my child is 7 and he just wanted a cool tracker like mom. It was priced very cheap, and now I know why!! No returning for me since it was second hand so I kept trying. Absolutely frustrating and not totally sure this was worth it honestly, but it works.
When I go to fitbit.com/signup it only lets me login with an existing account, or else click the button to start a new account using Google. This is on my Android, my wife's iPhone and my PC - How did you get past this? thanks in advance
I wonder if our support page Link a family account to your business account will be helpful at all, it should help with both if you haven't already created a 1Password Families account or if you have an existing one you want to use. That page should apply for all the members who are part of your 1Password Business account. If the page isn't helpful please do let us know.
Are you on the 1Password Business membership tier? Or are you perhaps using 1Password Teams instead? If you're on a different membership tier this feature would not be included. It is included in the 1Password Business tier only. If you are on a different tier and would like to upgrade to 1Password Business please reach out to our business team at busi...@1password.com from the email address associated with your account for assistance. :)
I was sure we were on the Business plan with all the features so I was happy to hear about this free family plan, but because I managed to convince the boss to sign up during the launch of teams I'm out of luck :(
To be precise, it's not the Launch Special, it's the difference between Teams and Business. Should you want to discuss the differences, please reach out to our Business Team at busi...@1password.com and they will be happy to help :)
Indeed, you may need to scroll down a bit. On a new account, it will be at the top...but I agree it might be better to find a more prominent place for it. I'd just hate for someone to accidentally unlink their account later if we make it too prominent. :lol:
