To help keep your account safe, you can create a PIN as another layer of protection from unwanted changes or access. Once you enable this feature, Bark will ask for your PIN every time you open your app or dashboard after inactivity.

Enable account lock

  1. Open up your parent app / dashboard.
    • On the new UI, tap new UI - account icon.png Account.
    • On the classic UI, tap the ˅ menu or ≡ More and then tap Account.
  2. Scroll down and tap Enable lock.
    Title is Account Lock. Body text says Account lock protects access to Bark and its settings after inactivity with a pin code. Blue button says Enable lock.
  3. Set a PIN that your kid (or other folks) won't guess.
    Title is Enable account lock. Body text says To enable the account lock on your Bark account, please set your PIN below. Field is labled Account PIN and allows you to input a 4-digit pin like 1234.
  4. That's it! After 1 hour of inactivity, Bark will require your 4-digit PIN to access to your account.
    Title is Account Locked. Body text says To access your account, please enter your PIN below. Field is labled Account PIN and allows you to input a 4-digit pin like 1234.
