Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers about how Lock Myself Out works and its limits.
Can I unlock a password early?+
No. Active locks cannot be cancelled or shortened. Once a lock is active, the protected information is unavailable until the unlock time you chose.
Can support unlock it for me?+
No. Support cannot reveal or release protected information early. There is no override available to anyone.
Does Lock Myself Out block applications directly?+
No. Lock Myself Out withholds the password or information needed to access an account. It does not disable websites, apps, or devices.
Can I still reset my password through the outside service?+
Possibly. Lock Myself Out cannot control the recovery tools offered by an outside website or application. If the service offers its own password reset, that path remains available to you.
Can I extend a lock?+
Yes. Active locks may be extended to a later time. Extending is permanent — the earlier unlock time cannot be restored.
What happens when a lock ends?+
The protected information becomes eligible to reveal after you sign in. It is not displayed automatically; you choose when to reveal it.
Is the password automatically emailed to me?+
No. Passwords are never included in notification emails. Notifications only describe lock status, never protected information.
