Set up your PIN and biometrics
Protect your account with a 6-digit PIN and optional Face ID or fingerprint sign-in.
Last updated June 1, 2026
Your 6-digit PIN secures sign-in and approvals. Biometrics let you skip typing it each time.
Set your PIN
You create your PIN during sign-up. To change it later:
- Open Settings, then Security.
- Tap Reset PIN.
- Confirm the one-time code we send to your phone.
- Complete a biometric check, then set a new 6-digit PIN.
Avoid simple sequences like 123456 or your date of birth.
Turn on biometrics
- Open Settings, then Security.
- Toggle on Face ID or Fingerprint.
- Confirm with your device biometric.
Now you can sign in and approve actions with your face or fingerprint, with your PIN as a fallback.
Tip: We enforce a second factor on larger transfers by default. You can tighten or relax that threshold in Settings, then Security, then 2FA.
