If you have not yet read our article in which we explain in depth everything that Disney + Star offers , you probably have no idea what it is. You can take a look at that article to know all its details but, in a simple way, we could say that Disney + Star is a new section of this streaming service that will offer categorized content for adults .

Some of the best known titles that we can see within Star are: Die Hard, Deadpool, Pretty Woman, Modern Family or Family Guy , among many others. Content that you probably do not want your children to see with total freedom, since it is not about movies or series appropriate for their age.

To put some control in this new section, the platform has enabled a parental control system along with a pin lock option for each user . Through an animation by Stewie Griffin they explain that, in this way, each of the people who use Disney + at home can enjoy the appropriate content for their age without having to worry about anything. So with that said, let’s see below how these control systems are set up.

How to activate parental controls and pin lock on Disney + Star

When you first log in to Disney + after Star arrives in your country, you will see a preview screen to announce that it is available. Once in it, if you want to access the complete Star catalog , you will only have to follow the following steps:

  • On the welcome screen, click on continue and then click on “access the full catalog” .
  • Now you will be asked to enter your user password (the one you use to access this service) to continue.
  • Once this last step is completed, you will have access to the complete Star catalog. Here you can also create a pin to control the access of other users to your profile. This will be a simple 4 digit numeric code. Once established, click on “Set pin” .
  • Once the password has been entered, and as a last point, the service will give us the possibility of giving full access to other users of our account. Please note that any user you select from this window will have full access to Star +18 content, although we can later modify this level from the Disney + settings.

But, as we mentioned before, we will have the possibility to establish a security level for the content that appears in certain users of our Disney + account.

In this case, the parental control offered by the service goes beyond a simple “all or nothing”. In detail, we can divide this limit into ages ranging from under 9 years to over 16 years or, in the case of full access, over 18 years . Depending on the rating we choose, the series and movies that will be shown in these profiles regarding Star will vary. Without forgetting the accounts categorized as children , in which we will not see a trace of this new function and, even, of other types of content from the Disney + general catalog.

In the event that we do not set any level, Disney + will take the 14+ year content limit as standard for new profiles. But, if we want to customize this aspect to our liking (yes, we will have to do it in the desktop version or from the mobile ), we will only have to follow the following steps:

  • Access the main screen of the profile view.
  • Select the “Edit profiles” option. This will make you see each of the profiles created with a pencil to its right.
  • Click on the profile in which you want to establish a new parental control or a pin lock.
  • Here you just have to access the corresponding option that you want to configure and place the relevant values.

That’s how simple it is to set the new parental control and security under the profile pin on Disney +. From now on, depending on the established age restrictions, the new content that comes to Star will appear in each of the avatars of our account in a different way. You can rest assured that your child will not see any series or movies that are not suitable for their age.

And, in the event that you want to modify any of the profile locks or passwords, you will only have to access the configuration of each of them again to change it.
