Set up Family Lock on a Mac
When Family Lock launches, setup takes about ten minutes, from a parent (administrator) account.
What you'll do
- Add Family Lock to Chrome, and to Edge if you use it, then choose your parent PIN.
- Install the Family Lock profile: open it, then use System Settings → Privacy & Security → Profiles and click Install.
- The profile keeps Family Lock installed, switches off Incognito, Guest mode and new profiles, and can lock safe search on. You can also block Firefox, and lock or block Edge.
Give your child or parent a standard Mac account so they can't remove the profile. A full Mac installer, in the same style as Windows, is still on the way; the profile is the lock we have today.
