I came across another service’s approach to account or profile locking, which I imagine I can’t link to, but effectively I believe they excel over ControlD in at least this one feature. I am committed to using ControlD, so I’m wondering if any improvements to the locking feature could be made. Basically the approach the other service uses is that without a password, the owner of the account cannot make their filtering LESS restrictive. Without the password they can still:

• add to existing blocking rules
• add new safesearch enforcement
• disable or delete allowed rules

However, they are prevented from (unless they have the password):

• creating new allow rules or adding to existing ones
• Deleting or disabling any active blocking rules

I might add to this last list the suggestion that users can’t remove their payment details to frustrate the system.

Basically at the moment I have to lock myself out of the entire ControlD account by effectively throwing away the password. It would be nice to be able to have access to my account, but not be able to backtrack on my decisions to live a healthier online life. My current strategy has issues in that I can’t add content to a blocklist on new occasions and I can’t view my logs to troubleshoot anything going awry.

Is this something that might be able to be implemented?

Thanks
