How to get 'My Eyes Only' on Snapchat?

My Eyes Only is for special Snaps that a user wants to keep extra private. These Snaps can be moved from Memories to 'My Eyes Only' and a person can only access these pictures after entering a passcode. The password for 'My Eyes Only' is different from the password used for signing in for Snapchat.

However, to view 'My Eyes Only', swipe up from the camera screen to open Memories, then swipe left to the 'My Eyes Only' tab and enter your passcode. If a user forgets the password which was set for 'My Eyes Only', then Team Snapchat won't be able to help to access or recover Snaps in 'My Eyes Only'.
