User management on the PS5 isn’t a difficult task. You can create multiple accounts, set user passwords and more.

It lets you ensure that they aren’t exposed to age-inappropriate content in games or while browsing the web. So, here is how to set up family accounts on PlayStation 5.
Although it’s completely possible to let your kids use your main PS account and setting up a password for purchases to prevent accidental charges on your card, it’s recommended that you create dedicated child accounts for your kids. You can even create Family accounts for adults in your family if you want to, by the way. In this article we will take a look at how to create family accounts on PS5, so you can easily set up your family’s users on your PlayStation 5.

Set Up Family Accounts for Children/Adults
If you want to set up a new family account for children or adults on your PlayStation 5 console, here’s what you need to do.
- Sign in with the PS App on your smartphone, or by entering your password on the PlayStation.
If you have already added an account for your kid, you don’t need to go through the entire Family account set up. You can set up parental controls and restrictions on the account easily. Here’s how.
- Under ‘Applicable Users on This PS5’ you will see your kid’s account. Select it.
So that’s how you can easily create new family-managed accounts for kids or adults in your family, or manage an already added child account with your administrator PSN account. With a kid’s account set up, you can ensure your child doesn’t come across any content not suited to their age, and you can protect them from harmful websites.
