Unlock attempt log
What failed App Lock and album unlock attempts record on your device.
What it is
When someone enters a wrong PIN for App Lock or an album unlock, FWDLink can record a failed attempt on that device (time, whether it was app or album, and basic device info). This is a security trail for you — not a silent camera capture.
Why it helps
If you suspect someone tried your PIN, the log shows recent failed attempts so you can change the PIN and review device access.
How to use it
- 1
Keep App Lock enabled so unlock attempts are meaningful.
- 2
After wrong PIN entries, open App Lock / security settings when the Unlock attempt log is shown and review recent failures.
- 3
If you see unexpected attempts, use Change PIN immediately and Lock now on devices you control.
Troubleshooting
- I don’t see a log yet
- The log is device-local and only fills after failed attempts. If the UI is still rolling out, failed attempts may still be stored for when the viewer is available.
