I've got Family Safety up and running nicely on a Windows 8 Surface, with two parent accounts and two child accounts.
When one of the child accounts reaches its time limit, the user can "Ask a parent for more time". However, the next dialog doesn't allow the parents to choose which parent account to use - it always comes up with my account, and my wife can't log in to authorise.
How can I allow the her account to allow more time/authorise sites etc?
She can use the same Live login on our Windows 7 computers to control these settings, and is listed as a Parent on the Family Safety website.
Answer
I had exactly this problem and after much fiddling, the answer is to make sure that your second parent is also set up as an Administrator User on each machine, you will then get the choice of either parent at the family safety prompts.
Even if they are set up as a parent they will not be prompted as a Standard User.
