If you want to restrict what your kids can access and use on your Amazon Fire TV, you can enable the device’s built-in parental controls from its Settings menu.
-
On your Fire TV’s home screen, select the gear icon for the Settings menu.
-
On the Settings menu, select Preferences.
-
Select the Parental Controls option.
-
Select the “Parental Controls” toggle.
-
Using your Fire TV remote, enter a five-digit PIN number, then enter it again to confirm and enable Parental Controls.
Once the global parental controls have been enabled, the rest of the Parental Controls menu will be revealed, allowing you to fine-tune what exactly gets blocked and restricted. Just remember that you’ll need your five-digit PIN to modify or disable these settings.
If at all possible, try to commit your PIN number to memory rather than writing it down. If there’s one thing kids are good at, it’s finding physical password notes, no matter where you hide them.
