Set the app-lock PIN in profile. The app locks as soon as the PIN is saved. It locks again when the tab is hidden or after the idle time you choose.
This PIN is not the hidden-chat PIN. You can use both. Email can clear either one.

Lock Kissend on a shared device
The app lock is the control for a phone or a browser tab that other people can open.
In the app
A private chat, with the locks.
- A username instead of your phone number.
- App lock, a hidden list, and a decoy PIN.
- A vault for files, away from the gallery.
- Friend chats and groups are free.

Habits that help
Mute the sensitive chat, and turn on quiet hours, so a banner does not announce it on the lock screen of the phone. Blur the preview in the list for the moments the app is unlocked.
Sign out if you are on a borrowed computer. Leaving a session signed in keeps the account available to the next person who opens that browser.

Help
Questions, answered.
A few quick answers before your first chat. The app has its own screens after you claim an account.
Can I unlock with my fingerprint?
Not today. The PIN is the unlock. The phone's own biometric lock is still worth using on the device.
What if I forget the PIN?
Request the email code and clear the app lock from that message.
