PIN protection

Open Settings → Protection.

What it does

You can protect sensitive apps with a 6-digit numeric PIN.

  • Turn Enable Protection on. If no PIN exists yet, weballoon walks you through setting one; if a PIN already exists, you must verify before toggling protection on or off.
  • Use Setup PIN or Change PIN to manage the code (with confirmation steps).

Per-app locks

Below, under Protected Apps, enable the toggle for each app that should require the PIN when opened.

Protection toggles for individual apps are disabled until global protection is enabled (the section fades until you turn it on).

When the PIN appears

Opening a protected app shows an authentication screen until you enter the correct PIN. After you unlock an app once, it stays unlocked for the rest of that session until you restart weballoon or similar (no need to re-enter the PIN every time you switch away and back in the same run).

If you forget the PIN

The app does not expose a “master key” in the interface. If you are locked out of protected apps, you will need whatever recovery path the product provides (for example official support or documented reset steps). Avoid guessing repeatedly; store a backup of your PIN somewhere safe.
