How to enter password on Kindle home screen

The Kindle allows the user to set an unlock password for the home screen - a way to protect data from Amazon's personal library and digital library. Just like on the cell phone, the device owner needs to enter a code to release access. However, the feature is not enabled by default and needs to be manually configured in the e-reader.

The function is useful to prevent personal information from falling into the hands of criminals in the event of theft. In addition, by blocking the Kindle, users prevent children from accessing the reader and buy books from the online store integrated into the device. Learn, in the following tutorial, how to create a PIN to increase device security.
