Adding a secret code

You will be prompted to set a secret code for the app during initial configuration of Where is My Device or App Lock. You can later change the app's secret code.

The app's secret code must consist of at least four numerals.

After entering the secret code:

• On devices running Android 4.х and 5.1, the system lock will be disabled.
• On devices running Android 5.0, the app will replace any system lock with a PIN-based lock that matches the secret code for Where is My Device.

You can enable the system lock once more in your device’s settings.

On some manufacturers' devices, the secret code becomes the system PIN code after the device is blocked. Manufacturers can limit the number of symbols in the system PIN code. To avoid potential problems in unblocking devices, we recommend that you set a secret code that has the same number of symbols as in the system PIN code.

If you forget the secret code, you can recover it on My Kaspersky or on the device.
