Frequently asked questions
What if I forget my PIN?
Tevium stores the PIN as a hash and cannot recover it. If you forget it, you can reset parental controls, which clears the PIN and locked categories.
Can I lock individual channels instead of categories?
Tevium locks at the category level, which covers most household use. You can also hide individual channels from the channel list entirely.
Do parental controls work across profiles?
Each profile can have its own PIN and locked categories, so different members of the household can have different rules.
