Find your Device Codes

Updated
Paola Rivera

A device code is a unique 6-digit number shown in your Bark dashboard. It’s used to connect the Bark Kids app or unlock protected features. 

💡 Only use this code if Bark Support asks you to, or if you’re actively supervising your child for more than 5 minutes while they access a restricted setting.

Find your Device Code(s)

  1. On your parent device, open up your parent app / dashboard.
  2. Tap this link to jump right to your children's device codes.

This error message means your kid's device has no internet access. Check the following:

  • Check your kid's device is connected to Mobile Data and if possible, Wi-Fi.
  • Check whether you accidentally Paused the Internet on their device.
  • Check whether you accidentally blocked their internet access through your cell phone or internet service provider(s).

If you check those things and the issue persists, please reach out to us.
