How to Lock BlockP Extension Settings with an Accountability Partner

Using a porn blocker with accountability partner adds a layer of real-life protection to your digital environment.

No matter how good your porn blocker is or how strong you think your intentions are, there will come a moment of temptation so overwhelming that only technology barriers cannot keep you safe anymore.

BlockP password protection steps in during that exact moment so that your partner or a parent can intervene and prevent a relapse. So, you cannot disable the password-protected porn blocker on a 30-second impulse and undo months of progress.

Having an accountability partner app like BlockP also ensures that when there is a genuine need, you can still access features like social media or use incognito mode without risking a relapse by uninstalling the extension itself.

What Is Password Protection on BlockP?

When someone is trying to quit porn, there are two versions that will be making decisions.

A present version that desperately wants to quit porn and therefore installs a porn blocker extension and carefully sets up all the filters.

A future version, not essentially weak but powerless and impulsive and reeling under the dopamine habit loop that will override the present version during a moment of vulnerability.

BlockP’s porn blocker settings are designed to support the first version.

And BlockP password protection is in place to safeguard the second version.

When you turn on the password protection, you can add a trusted friend, your spouse, partner, or a parent as your accountability partner. Every time you want to change any BlockP setting, they will get a password on their email, and only when they share that password can you make changes to BlockP settings.

Why Use an Accountability Partner?

We all know that our judgment often gets compromised and our resolve often shifts when we are under stress or craving.

Your porn blocker with accountability partner is a strategy for restricting your own future choices. Instead of taxing your willpower and risking relapse, you are asking someone else to make that decision for you.

An accountability partner app like BlockP is not about someone else controlling you. It is about

Benefits of Using BlockP's Password Protection

1. A porn blocker with accountability partner feature like BlockP closes the just-this-once loophole that keeps you in an endless cycle of relapse and restart.
2. A human check-in with the password-protected porn blocker opens a conversation rather than making failure a silent and secret event.
3. Decision fatigue is one of the main reasons why our best intentions fail. Sometimes our mental resources are so exhausted that making another choice feels overwhelming. When you lock blocker settings with password, you have to make that difficult decision once and it's done.
4. Protects settings like preventing uninstallation or blocking incognito mode to stop you from finding a loophole.
5. For parents, having a porn blocker that can't be disabled is a huge relief because they don’t have to monitor their children’s browsing constantly.

How Password Protection Works in BlockP

Here is exactly what happens when a child or someone who is trying to quit porn tries to disable a BlockP setting after password protection is in place.

The user tries to disable a setting.

BlockP immediately triggers an OTP (one-time password) sent to their chosen accountability partner’s email.

For the user, a pop-up appears asking them to enter the 6-digit OTP, and the setting stays locked until their partner shares the OTP and they enter it.
