I believe my account or device is compromised because there are no options to select. (i.e. no three small dots next to my name on owner card.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thx.

    Hi, @Tina Davis

    If you haven't already, first please sign in to the Family Safety website here instead of using the app: https://account.microsoft.com/family/home Check what is shown under your name. Does it say "Organizer" or "Member"?

    Microsoft states that only an Organizer can remove family members or leave the family group. If "Leave family group" is not available, the account may not currently be recognized as an Organizer.

    Also, since you mentioned that the account or device may be compromised:

    1. Do you see any family members or organizers there that you do not recognize?
    2. Have you noticed any unfamiliar sign-ins or changes to your Microsoft account security information?

    You can also review your recent account activity here: https://account.live.com/Activity

    Thanks!
