When a person purchases a Roku device and signs up for an account on the streaming service, one of the options available to set up is a four-digit pin. This is an added security feature that can safeguard a user account from unsanctioned purchases or access to content on the platform. But, of course, one of the hassles of enabling a numerical password on a smart TV—especially for users with multiple smart devices that require passwords to unlock certain features—is the possibility of forgetting it entirely.

There's the option of not having a Roku pin set up at all, but having one may be crucial in some cases. For example, in a household with young children, having a Roku pin ensures that they don't accidentally purchase or watch restricted content on The Roku Channel. Having a pin is also helpful for users who like to lend their Roku devices to friends and family. It lets them share their existing entertainment media library while also barring acquaintances from adding more channels, movies, or shows to their Roku account.
