Add, change, or reset a Profile PIN

You can lock your Adult profile so that a PIN is required to access your profile. An Adult profile is any profile with Kids Mode turned off.

When your profile is locked, your 4-digit Profile PIN must be entered to access your profile. Locked profiles have a Lock icon closed padlock beside the avatar.
