About the secret code

The app's secret code is required to:

• Access Anti-Theft, Privacy Protection, and App Lock settings.
• Open apps protected by App Lock.
• Send an SMS command from the Kaspersky Internet Security interface on another device to launch Anti-Theft or Privacy Protection functions on your device.

You will be prompted to set a secret code for the app during initial configuration of Anti-Theft, upon first launch of Privacy Protection, or during initial configuration of App Lock. You can later change the app's secret code.

The app's secret code consists of numerals. The minimum number of numerals is four.

On some manufacturers's 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.
