We need to create a Pin for our Roku account to avoid the unauthorized access to our Roku account. It will prevent the unauthorized purchases from our account as it prompts to verify the Pin before making every single transaction against the purchase.
Roku is a streaming media player used to play content from an unlimited number of sites. It can also be used for watching all the television content that you earlier received from the cable companies. It’s a very less expensive way for entertainment. It streams the content with best sound and picture quality. It is very easy to use as we just need to connect it to the internet and start streaming the content instantly.
Whenever you buy a Roku media player, you need to setup the account for Roku to manage the streaming of content like subscribing to channels, renting the movies or viewing the Live shows. So we also set up the payment method within our Roku account to manage the payment mode for all the content we stream through our Roku box. Although the Roku account has a password still, there are some chances that an unauthorized user can gain access to your account, if he/she comes to know the password for your account. Due to which an unauthorized purchase can be made from the account if there is no Pin exists for making a purchase. So to avoid this kind of problem, you need to set a Pin for your Roku account that will be applicable for all purchases from your account. Go through the following steps to create a Pin for your account:
- Open the web-browser on any of your devices connected with internet e.g. Mobile phone, Laptop, Tablets, etc.
- Open the Roku com Link by Typing www.my.roku.com as the URL for the browser.
- Login to your Roku account using the login credentials i.e. your email address and password. If you don’t remember the password for your account, then click on the option for “Forgot password” present just bellow the field for entering the password. It will send either a new password or will post a link to create a new password.
- Once you login to your account, click on the option for “PIN Preferences” and select “Update.”
- You can apply the Pin in three possible ways depending on the severity of your account confidentiality. The following are the ways to implement the Pin with your Roku account:
- Allways ask for the pin while making purchases and adding channels to my watch list.
- Allways ask for Pin to make Purchases.
- Never ask for Pin while making purchases or adding channels to my watch list.
- If you opt for any of the fist two options to implement the pin, then it will prompt you to create a Pin only if there is no Pin created earlier for the account. So to create a Pin enter any four digits numerical value to keep then as your Pin. Ensure you don’t forget it as will now be used for making a purchase. You won’t receive a prompt to set the Pin there already exists a Pin for your account.
- Once you create the Pin by entering the Four numbers, then click on “Ok” or “Save” as per available to save the changes made to your account.
It will complete the process for creating Pin and thus help you in securing the account from unauthorized purchases. Hope this proved helpful in setting up the pin and if you need more help related to Ruko then visit www Support Roku Com for more setup and troubleshooting procedures.
