How to enable device lock on mobile?

Avoid using third-party apps to lock your device, as these may cause issues with Kite app login. Use your device's built-in security settings instead.

You must enable device lock on your mobile to use the Kite app. As per regulations, you need an additional authentication factor beyond your password.

When you log into the Kite app with your password and PIN, you will see an Enable now option. Click on Enable now to set up device lock. This is a one-time process.
