# Device Lock

Locks a Mac remotely with a 6-digit PIN that you set.

#### What It Does

Sends a remote lock command to the Mac. The device locks immediately and requires the PIN you created to unlock it. If the Mac has a firmware or recovery password set, that password is used on reboot instead of the PIN.

#### How to Use

1\. Open the device and tap the command **Lock**

2\. Enter a 6-digit PIN

3\. Confirm the PIN

4\. Review and tap **Lock Now** to send the command

> **Important:** Save your PIN somewhere safe outside the app. You'll need it to unlock the device.
