What happens if you forget your TikTok screen management password?

You will need to reach out to TikTok via their support chat and explain that you have forgotten your Screen Time Management password.

According to Mashable, TikTok plans to remedy this problem sometime this year.

There currently is no easier way to reset your password, so if limiting user time on the platform is the intention, TikTok has succeeded on this front.

According to HITC, TikTok users have also had their accounts restricted without even enabling the Screen Time Management feature.

The source of this problem remains unknown.

How can you avoid forgetting your password?

Write down your password on a piece of paper or in your notes on your phone to avoid forgetting it later on.

Try creating a passcode that is easy for you to remember or one that incorporates something familiar in your life.

It may also be helpful to share your password with someone you trust, such as a parent or sibling.

Can parents control their teens’ TikTok accounts?

TikTok allows parents to control and manage their teen’s setting remotely via “Family Pairing.”

TikTok launched this feature to help younger teens remain safe while still enjoying the platform.

The “Family Pairing” feature enables parents to restrict direct messaging, curate the content their teen can view, as well as set screen time limits.

One interesting aspect about this feature is that teens can actually disable the “Family Pairing” feature on their end; however, parents will receive a notification upon doing so.
