Password Protect Focus

How to Set Up Password Protection

1. First, click the Focus icon on your menu bar at the top of your screen.
2. Then click the Preferences icon that appears.
3. Go to the General tab.
4. Click Password Protect to activate Password Mode.
5. You'll be asked to type in a password twice to confirm it's what you want.

Now, each time you want to change a setting in Focus, you'll need to enter this password. This adds an extra step that makes you really think before changing your settings.

Share the Password with a Trusted Person

If you're worried you might cheat and disable the settings, you can give your password to a trusted friend or family member. This adds another layer of commitment and ensures you stay on track.

Add Blocked Sites When Password Protected

You can easily add new distracting sites to your block list even when Focus is in Password Mode. The catch? You'll need the password to take any sites off the list. This way, you make sure you're not making it too easy to get sidetracked.

Great for Parental Control

Parents can use Password Mode to help their children stay focused while using the Internet. Once the settings are locked, kids can't easily change them, helping ensure a safe and productive online experience.

By setting up password protection, you're adding a robust layer of commitment to your productivity routine. It makes Focus not just a tool, but a true ally in achieving your goals.
