How do I manage my Cogeco Security profiles?

When you install Cogeco Security on a device, you’ll have the option to sign in as yourself using your main CLIENT profile, or to sign in with a child profile. You can set separate Family Rules for each child profile to make sure they’re only seeing appropriate content and/or limit their screen time.

Creating a new profile during installation

1. When you’re prompted to set up protection for yourself or for a child, select Installing for a child.
   
   
   
2. Choose New child profile from the dropdown and select Continue.
   
   
   
3. Enter a name, choose an age range and select Next.
   
   
   
4. Set up Family Rules for the profile.
   
   • Learn more about Family Rules settings.

Switching profiles

1. Select the profile icon at the top right of the Cogeco Security home page.
   
   
   
2. Select Switch user from the dropdown (on a computer) or profile page (on a mobile device).
3. Log in with your My Account username and password.
4. Select My device to switch to your main CLIENT profile, or select My child’s device to switch to a child profile.
   
   
   • When you choose a child profile, you’ll be prompted to set up Family Rules, but if it’s an existing profile, your current settings will already be selected by default.
   • You can also select New child profile from the dropdown to set up a new profile.
