Create or change your Google Account PIN

Some products ask for a Google Account PIN before you can take certain actions, like set up a device or make a purchase.

When to use a PIN

You'll be asked to use a Google Account PIN in a few different situations, including when:

• You approve purchases in Google Play (optional).
• You send someone money in Google Wallet.
• You set up a Roku box. You'll use the PIN to add Google Play Movies & TV.
• You buy something from Google Play in Daydream.

Your Google Account PIN is different from PINs you might have for other Google products, like Google Voice and AdWords.
