How to create, change, or remove your Roku PIN
What is a Roku PIN?
A Roku® PIN (personal identification number) is a 4-digit code that allows you to control what can be purchased or what apps can be added to your Roku streaming devices using your Roku account. Having a Roku PIN is optional, but is a good idea if more than one person uses your Roku streaming devices.
