eFootball Child Accounts after v6.0.0: k-ID, Parent Consent and Two-Step Verification Guide

Since the v6.0.0 Season Update in August 2026, k-ID has become part of eFootball's parental-consent and parental-control system for KONAMI ID Child Accounts. The key change is not cosmetic: KONAMI asked a parent or legal guardian to provide the required consent again after the update.

What changed with v6.0.0?

In an official notice dated August 10, 2026, KONAMI announced that k-ID would be used for parental consent and parental controls beginning with the v6.0.0 Season Update. Parents or legal guardians were asked to provide the required consent again after the update.

The update arrived on August 13, 2026. If a Child Account that previously worked suddenly presented a new consent request after the new season, that matches the announced transition and does not by itself indicate an account violation.

Who is this guide for?

KONAMI's notice specifically addresses users playing with a KONAMI ID Child Account. That is more specific than simply being a young player on PlayStation, Xbox or mobile; this guide focuses on the KONAMI ID child/guardian relationship.

Where does a parent manage the settings?

KONAMI directs parents and guardians to My KONAMI. After signing in with the appropriate account, Child Account settings are checked from the Family menu. That should be the first stop rather than searching only inside eFootball's in-game settings.

• Confirm that the parent/guardian account is the one actually linked to the Child Account.
• Open My KONAMI and use Family rather than looking for a separate control inside Game Plan or Dream Team.
• Check whether the post-v6.0.0 consent has been completed.
• If verification is requested, complete it from the parent/guardian account itself.

What is k-ID in eFootball?

KONAMI's current Terms explain that k-ID can be used for age verification, parental or guardian consent, and age-appropriate restrictions. If a user is below the age threshold KONAMI designates for their country or region, KONAMI may require age verification and/or parental consent through k-ID, another designated third-party service, or another method.

What can happen if required consent or age verification is incomplete?

The current eFootball Terms say that a user may be unable to log into the application, may have certain features restricted, and/or may be prevented from making purchases if required age verification or parental/guardian consent is not completed. The wording is conditional, so not every Child Account will necessarily receive the same restriction.

Is the Child Account created inside eFootball itself?

The Terms distinguish the game application from external identity systems. Child-specific user accounts or IDs are not created inside the application itself in that sense; KONAMI may instead use k-ID or another designated method for age verification, parental consent and age-appropriate restrictions. In practice, the child/guardian relationship is managed through KONAMI ID/My KONAMI rather than through an in-match account-creation menu.

Why did KONAMI ask for consent again?

The August 10 notice directly links the new consent request to the move to k-ID with v6.0.0. The renewed consent was therefore part of the system transition. A new consent screen alone should not be interpreted as evidence that the old consent was removed because of misconduct or a security incident.

Data transfer: when does the guardian matter?

KONAMI says that data transfer for a Child Account may require consent or two-step verification using the KONAMI ID of the linked parent or guardian account. The word 'may' matters: not every transfer necessarily produces the same prompt, but access to the guardian account should be confirmed before changing devices or deleting the app.

• Before changing device, confirm that data linking is already set correctly and the guardian can sign in to their KONAMI ID.
• Do not wait until after deleting the app to discover that the guardian account cannot be accessed.
• If consent or two-step verification appears, complete it with the linked parent/guardian account, not an unrelated account.
• Keep recovery access to the email and verification method associated with the relevant accounts.

eFootball Points and Child Accounts

Using eFootball Points may also require consent or two-step verification through the linked parent/guardian KONAMI ID. This does not mean every Points redemption always requires a new code; it means the system can require the extra step when applicable.

Why two-step verification matters

Because sensitive actions can depend on the linked guardian account, verification should remain under the control of that account holder. Do not share a password or verification code in chat or with someone claiming they can complete parental consent for you.

Does the change apply to every platform?

The Child Account notice itself is listed for all devices. The v6.0.0 version information adds a mobile-specific note for iOS/Android: users who selected certain countries or regions may require a parent or legal guardian to use k-ID and provide consent before the user can play. Keep the all-device Child Account policy separate from platform- or region-specific implementation details.

If a consent prompt appears after login

• Confirm that the account shown is the correct Child Account.
• Sign in to My KONAMI with the linked parent/guardian account and open Family.
• Complete only the consent or verification requested by the official flow.
• Return to eFootball and retry the blocked action once.
• If it still fails, capture the error message and time before contacting support.

If the verification code does not arrive

Do not start creating a new KONAMI ID and linking it at random. First verify which guardian account is actually linked and whether its email/verification method is accessible. If account access is the problem, use the official recovery or KONAMI support path rather than changing links blindly.

If the child can play but cannot purchase

That can fit the logic of the current Terms: missing required verification or consent can prevent purchases even when the user is not completely blocked from the application. Check consent and age-related restrictions before treating every failed purchase as a store outage.

If the child cannot log in at all

Check consent and identity state before advanced network troubleshooting. The Terms explicitly allow login to be unavailable when required age verification or parental consent is incomplete. Once Family and consent are confirmed, it makes sense to investigate network, platform or service-maintenance causes.

Should you change the date of birth to fix it?

No. Do not use an inaccurate birth date to bypass age controls. KONAMI's Terms require registration information to be accurate and complete, and false details can create larger account and recovery problems later.

Parent checklist before moving the child's game to a new device

• I can sign in to the parent/guardian My KONAMI account.
• I can see or correctly identify the Child Account relationship in Family.
• The consent required after v6.0.0 is complete.
• I still have access to the two-step verification method if requested.
• eFootball data is linked correctly before the app is deleted.
• I saved any support case numbers or error messages from the transfer.

When should you contact KONAMI Support?

Escalate when the Family relationship is correct and consent is complete but the game still blocks the action, when access to the linked guardian account has been lost, or when official data transfer fails despite following the proper route. Prepare the relevant KONAMI ID, the exact error, time of failure and device type, but never send a password or verification code.

What should you do now?

For a Child Account, open My KONAMI > Family and confirm that post-v6.0.0 consent is complete and that the guardian account can still perform two-step verification. If the player is about to transfer data or use eFootball Points, verify guardian access before the prompt appears at the last possible moment.
