Adding a passcode to your device

Adding a passcode to your device

Protecting your Montblanc Digital Paper with a passcode is crucial for ensuring your privacy and security. It prevents unauthorized access, safeguarding your documents and notebooks. In case of loss or theft, a passcode adds an extra layer of protection, making it harder for others to access your information.

During onboarding, you had the opportunity to set up a passcode. You can change, set up, or turn off the passcode anytime by navigating to Settings → Security.

Unlock by passcode

Enabling a passcode allows you to lock your device and restrict access.


To set up a passcode:

  1. Tap the box next to Unlock by passcode.
  2. A pop-up appears asking you to enter a four-digit code of your choice. Use the keypad to enter your code.
  3. Tap CONTINUE to proceed or CANCEL / x to return to settings.
  4. Confirm your passcode by entering it a second time, then tap DONE.

Your passcode is now active. The next time you lock your Digital Paper, you will need this passcode to unlock it.

Note: Entered digits are masked as **** to maintain security.

Change passcode

You can update your passcode whenever needed.

Steps to change your passcode:

  1. Tap Change passcode under the Security menu.
  2. Enter your current passcode and select CONTINUE.
  3. Enter a new four-digit passcode twice and tap DONE.

Your new passcode is now active.

Disable Unlock by passcode

You can turn off passcode protection if desired.

Steps to disable:

  1. Untick the box next to Unlock by passcode.
  2. Enter your current passcode to confirm and tap CONTINUE.

The device will no longer require a passcode to unlock, and your files will be accessible without restrictions.

Important warning: Forgot passcode

It is extremely important to remember your passcode. If you forget it, your Montblanc Digital Paper cannot be accessed.

In such a case, your device becomes fully inaccessible. The only option is a factory reset at a Montblanc boutique, which will erase all data not saved to the Montblanc Cloud.

Always ensure your passcode is stored securely and memorable only to you.
