How to create a PIN

When it comes to Roku, you will have to create a PIN. Once you do that, you will be able to restrict access to certain channels and content and your kids won’t be able to add channels and make purchases without a pin. Here is how to create it:

• Go to my.roku.com and log in
• Find Pin Preference and select Update
• Now, you will have to select your PIN preference. You will get to choose between three options:
  • Always require a PIN to make purchases and to add items from the Channel Store.
  • Always require a PIN to make purchases.
  • A PIN is not required to make any purchase or add any item from the Channel Store.
• If you select the first or the second option, a PIN will be required for certain actions (making purchases, or making purchases and adding channels)
• You will be required to add a 4 digit PIN of your choice and then you will have to verify it
