Parent PIN & Secure Access
Some settings are too important to be changed by the wrong person. Protect Companion's critical settings with the Parent PIN or your phone's security. Settings that affect someone's safety can only be changed by an authorized person.
Parent PIN — Guardian of Critical Settings
It asks for a special PIN before critical settings such as Check-in Time, Reminders, My Location Book and Emergency Contacts can be changed. The wrong person can't change these settings.
Phone Security Verification — PIN, Pattern, Fingerprint, Face Recognition
It uses your phone's existing security. PIN, pattern, fingerprint or face recognition — whichever you use, Parent PIN works with it.
Critical Action Protection — Deleting, Editing and Turning Off
Verification is required before deleting, editing or turning off anything in Check-in Time, Reminders, Location Reminder and Fall Detection. Accidental changes are prevented.
About the Module

It is the security system that protects Companion's safety system.
An elderly relative might accidentally change the safety settings. My child could break the system while playing with the phone. Emergency contacts could be deleted by mistake. The protection system could be switched off unintentionally.
