Third-Party Apps

How Parental Lock Works

 
After you save your Parental Lock settings, the device asks for your PIN when someone first tries to open a protected app or feature.
 
Once the correct PIN is entered:
 
  • Access stays unlocked temporarily.
  • The default unlock period is 1 minute.
  • You can set the PIN validity period anywhere from 1 to 10 minutes.
  • When that period ends, the PIN is required again for protected content.
This lets you move between protected areas without entering your PIN every time while still keeping those areas restricted.
 

Forgot Your PIN?

 
If you forget your Parental Lock PIN:
 
  1. Tap Forgot on the PIN screen.
  2. A verification code will be sent to the email address associated with your Cozyla ID.
If you don't receive the verification email, check your spam or junk folder and make sure you're checking the email linked to your Cozyla ID.
 
If the email still doesn't arrive, contact Cozyla Support at help@cozyla.com.
 

Troubleshooting

 

A Protected Feature Won't Unlock

 
If you can't open a protected feature:
 
  1. Make sure you entered the correct PIN.
  2. Wait a few seconds and try again.
  3. If the previous unlock period has expired, enter the PIN again.
  4. Restart the device if needed.

You Didn't Receive the Verification Email

 
If your PIN recovery email doesn't arrive:
 
  1. Check your spam or junk folder.
  2. Make sure you're checking the email linked to your Cozyla ID.
  3. Wait a few minutes for the email to arrive.
  4. Contact Cozyla Support if you still don't receive it.

An App or Feature Isn't Asking for the PIN

 
If something you meant to protect opens without asking for the PIN:
 
  1. Go to Settings > Parental Lock.
  2. Make sure the app or feature is selected.
  3. Make sure Parental Lock is turned on.
  4. Save the settings again if needed.
