Reinstall & quick fixes
The computer was linked before — how do I reinstall?+
On the phone go to Account → pick the old device → Regenerate link code, then enter that code on the computer (Method A). Don't create a new device — reuse the old one to keep its schedule & settings.
The link code is expired or already used?+
Each code lives 15 minutes and works once. Create a new code in the app and try again.
The phone isn't getting the connection notification (Method B)?+
Check the app is signed in to the right account and has notifications enabled, then tap Send link request again on the computer.
Reinstall says “tamper protection is active”?+
Open the KidSafe window → sign in with the parent password → Management tab → Disable protection, then reinstall.
