Want to control how much time your children can spend on their devices? You can limit the time your child can use the device in two ways: Daily use limits and Bedtime.

Note: Daily use limits affect:

On Android: all apps, except pre-installed ones
On iPhone and iPad: web browsing with SAFE
On Windows: the entire device
On Mac: the entire device

Log in to My F-Secure with your account username and password.
Go to the SAFE tab on the top navigation bar.
Select the user and the corresponding device.
Select Family Rules.
Go to the Daily use limits tab, slide the slider to the right, then set the daily use limits as follows:
1. Select Edit or the pen symbol (on mobile devices) to edit the settings.
2. For Weekdays and/or Weekends, slide the slider to the desired time length (for example, 2 hours per day).
3. Select Save or the tick symbol (on mobile devices) to save and apply the settings.
Go to the Bedtime tab, slide the slider to the right, then set the bedtime limits as follows:
1. Select Edit or the pen symbol (on mobile devices) to edit the settings.
2. For School nights and/or Weekend nights, slide the slider to set the desired time frame.
3. Select Save or the tick symbol (on mobile devices) to save and apply the settings.

The daily use limits are now set.
