Some screens are only for grown-ups. Before they open, Dilly runs a check on the phone. It keeps a child who picked up the phone out of those screens.
Which screens
- The Parent/Teacher area
- The plans page, and canceling or managing a plan
- The learning report
- The Companion page in the Parent/Teacher area
What the check looks like
- Face ID or Touch ID. If your phone has one set up, Dilly asks the phone straight away.
- The passcode. If the phone only has a passcode, a card says "Grown-ups only" with three buttons: Use Face ID or passcode, Use a puzzle instead and Not now.
- A number puzzle. If the phone has neither, or you pick the puzzle, the screen says "Type this number in words." You type a number such as 214 as words.
If the check fails or you cancel, a calm card offers Try again, Use a puzzle instead and Not now.
How long it lasts
After you pass, you can move between the grown-up screens without being asked again for a short while. It closes sooner if the app has been in the background for a while, or if you switch children or log out.
What still needs your password
Some things need your account password typed again, even after the phone check:
- Adding or changing a child
- Saying yes for a child under 13
- Deleting a profile
- Inviting another parent
Honest limits
This is a check on the phone, not a lock on the account. It keeps a child who picked up the phone out of the paywall and the grown-up screens. A child who knows the phone's passcode could pass it. Stripe's payment page still asks for card details or Apple Pay before any money moves.
