Stop asking for verification code for adult

How can I get our family share from asking for verification codes every time an adult on account makes a purchase.

I have this same issue. My issue is not “Ask to Buy”. For Family Sharing, I have my spouse on the plan. When she does an in-app purchase, she is told she needs to enter a verification code, which only appears on my phone. This is annoying to both of us; she shouldn’t have to come to me for a code every time she wants to make a purchase. I feel like this is what the original poster was asking too but not sure. Is there some way to turn off these requests for verification codes?

Hello LukeReasoner,


We understand you'd like to disable the Ask to Buy feature for an adult on your Family sharing account, and we're happy to assist with this.


There is a resource which provides information on this features such as how it works and how to disable it. You can find it here: Approve what kids buy with Ask to Buy


We hope this helps.
