Parental Lock helps you restrict access to selected apps, settings, and features on your Cozyla device using a PIN code.
 
You can use Parental Lock to protect built-in Cozyla features and selected third-party apps.
 
 
 

Set Up Parental Lock

 
  1. Open Settings.
  2. Tap Parental Lock.
 
  1. Turn on Parental Lock.
  2. Create your PIN code.
  3. Choose which apps or features you want to lock.
  4. Tap Confirm to save your settings.
 

Choose What to Lock

 
After creating your PIN, you can choose which features and apps require the PIN before access is allowed.
 
 

Lock Built-In Cozyla Features

 
In the Core Apps section, you can lock specific functions inside built-in Cozyla apps.
 
Available lock options may include:
 
  • Cozyla ID
    • Manage members
  • Calendar Settings
    • Manage events
    • Manage third-party calendars
  • Tasks
    • Manage chores

    • Manage pantry items
    • Manage grocery lists
    • Search video recipes
  • Notes
    • Delete notes
    • Delete folders
Select the features you want to protect with your PIN.
 
 

Lock Third-Party Apps

 
In the Other Apps section, you can choose which third-party apps should require a PIN before they can be opened.
 
This can help restrict access to apps you do not want children or other users to access.
 
 
 

How Parental Lock Works

 
After you save or update Parental Lock settings:
 
  • The first time someone opens a restricted app or feature, the device will ask for the PIN.
  • After entering the correct PIN, access will be allowed temporarily.
  • By default, the PIN stays active for 1 minute.
  • You can change the PIN validity period between 1 and 10 minutes.
  • After the validity period expires, the PIN will be required again for protected content.
This helps prevent repeated PIN entry while still protecting restricted features.
 
 

Forgot Your PIN?

 
If you forget your PIN:
 
  1. Tap Forgot on the PIN screen.
  2. A verification code will be sent to the email address used for your Cozyla ID.
If you do not receive the email, contact Cozyla Support:

Troubleshooting

 

I Cannot Unlock a Feature

 
If a protected feature does not unlock:

  2. Wait a few seconds and try again.
  3. Confirm the PIN validity period has not expired.
  4. Restart the device if needed.

I Did Not Receive the Verification Email

 
If you do not receive the PIN recovery email:

  2. Confirm you are checking the email linked to your Cozyla ID.
  3. Wait a few minutes for the email to arrive.
  4. Contact Cozyla Support if the email still does not appear.

Apps Are Not Locking Correctly
