With the Roku PIN (Personal Identification Number) feature, you can protect your account from other users. You can prevent them from making unnecessary channel purchases or adding free channels. Moreover, you can also set Parental Control to make your Roku streaming kid-friendly.
But, adding PIN can confuse many users as you cannot create it from your Roku device. So, in this article, let us guide you on how to do it with simple steps.
How to Create, Find, Reset or Delete Roku PIN?
You can create and add a four-digit Roku PIN code to your account for privacy. Keeping it will require users to enter PINs while adding or purchasing channels on their Roku devices. You can also reset or delete the PIN anytime you want.
Below, we have compiled simple steps for creating, resetting, and deleting Roku PIN.
Create PIN
You can create a PIN for your profile from the Roku website. While creating a PIN, you will need to set your preferences to control your channel purchases. But you must note that it will be applicable only when you buy or add from a Roku channel Store or device.
Moreover, you can also set Parental Controls on your account. But it applies to only Roku Channel. For other streaming channels like Hulu and Netflix, you can add a Profile PIN separately from their website. You can check it out below.
