How to Create and Reset Roku TV PIN

Hey, guys, Fahad here; today, I want to show you how to create and reset your Roku TV PIN.

A Roku PIN, also known as a Personal Identification Number, is a four-digit code that allows you to authorize who can make purchases and add channels to your Roku streaming device.

When set up, this PIN can also be used to set up parental controls on your Roku device. This will keep children from watching certain content on the Roku channel.

The Roku PIN isn’t set up by default, but it’s generally a good idea to create one if you’re not the only person who uses your Roku streaming device. I have made one for our home TCL Roku Smart TV.

How to Create a Roku PIN

To create a Roku PIN:

1. Log into your Roku account using a web browser.
2. Enter my.roku.com on your smartphone or computer.
3. Log in with your email and password.
4. Under “PIN Preferences,” click on “Update.”

If you don’t already have a PIN, you’ll see a form where you can create a four-digit PIN. Enter something you can remember, but that isn’t easy to guess, such as “1234.”

Using Your Roku PIN

You can now choose how to use your Roku PIN in the following section:

• Requiring a PIN to make purchases protects you and your family from making accidental purchases. Every time you purchase on the Roku platform, you’ll be prompted to enter your four-digit PIN before checkout.
• Requiring a PIN to add new channels is especially helpful if you have kids around.

Using a PIN for Parental Controls

Besides confirming purchases or adding new channels, a PIN can also be used for parental control. This is a must for a family TV. For instance, you can choose which content ratings will require a PIN.

Keep in mind:

• Parental control settings do not apply to channels outside Roku (Roku’s streaming service).
• It won’t work for Netflix, Hulu, or HBO Max; you must rely on channel or app-specific settings.
• Parental controls do not prevent users from accessing content elsewhere, such as a provider’s website or mobile app.

How to Reset a Roku PIN

If you already set up a PIN and wish to reset it:

1. Click on “Change PIN” under Account PIN Settings.
2. On the “Choose Your PIN Preferences” page, update your PIN.
