Re: PIN number

Assuming this is a PIN for Roku and not something required by Showtime ...

Your Roku PIN is entered or updated on your Roku account at https://my.roku.com.  You can also set when the PIN will be required.

Be sure you are logging into the Roku account indicated by the email address shown via Roku menu path Settings > System > About.

I cannot add a channel because it’s asking for a pin I don’t know.

I have deactivated requiring a pin but my Roku is still asking for a pin to add a channel. Is there a way around this? I don’t know what pin number it’s asking for. I’m very frustrated! 😡

Hey @Missesk

Thanks for the post.

As previously mentioned by @makaiguy above, we recommend checking first the email address linked to your Roku device. To do this, go to Settings > System > About. Once done, log in to the same email address on our website then try updating your PIN preference. 

If you need help on how to update your PIN, visit this Support link: How to create, reset, find, or delete your PIN for your Roku account

I hope this helps!


All the best,
Kariza
