Kindle Fire is a great entertainment. People use the Kindle Fire to share happiness with families and friends. But we don’t want to share everything with others. Sometimes we need privacy. So it’s necessary to set some protection for the Kindle Fire so that other people could not approach your privacy.

There are two protections for the Kindle Fire: the screen lock protection and the Parental Controls. The latter is very useful for parents to protect their kids from browsing some bad websites and purchasing unnecessary items.

1. Screen lock protection

The Kindle Fire screen lock protection is much like the cellphone screen lock. Go to setting menu and choose “Security” – “Lock Screen Password”. Set any password you like. Then next time you want to unlock the screen, you need to enter the password

2. Parental Controls

With Parental Controls we can block some content of the Kindle Fire so that other people can use them. Go to “Setting” – “Parental Controls” and you will be asked to set a password. After that the Parental Controls will be activated.

You can choose to block the web browser and set password for the purchasing process. In this way other people could not surf the Internet or buy any items with your Kindle Fire.

Not only the web browser but other content can be blocked too. The blocked content will turn gray and you can’t open them.

The strictest protection is to disable the Wi-Fi connection. Enable “Password Protect Wi-Fi” and turn off the Wi-Fi. Then the next time other people connect the Kindle Fire to Wi-Fi, they will be asked to enter the Parental Controls password.
