Require a PIN to open a rechannel

I'd like to be able to set a channel to require a PIN to open it - this would help me monitor/limit my child's access to "ok" channels that I don't want her watching without supervision (YouTube/YouTube Kids), and channels we may not want her accessing at all. 

This would help us set timers and talk to her about time limits - at the moment she wakes up before us and binges on a channel that we consider "ok in small amounts".

Re: Require a PIN to open a rechannel

I want to boost this request.  It is a vital tool for parents and should be a simple feature to add, whether it is a separate PIN for each channel or even just a check box saying "Require PIN to access" on the channel's settings. A huge number of channels do not have any parental controls, so this can greatly help parents manage what their kids can access, especially when one child is a bit older and more mature than another.
