06 Jun 2024 By PAYCEC

Most Samsung users utilize the mobile payment application and e-wallet due to its convenience and security. To use the application effectively and safely, make sure your PIN is those chain of digits that you can remember, it’s better linked to things that remind you of the account, but is difficult for others to guess at the same time. If you forget your PIN and need to reset it to enhance account security, follow the instructions below.

Step-by-Step instruction to Reset Your Samsung Pay PIN 

1. Open the Samsung Pay App: Tap the app icon on the screen or in the open app drawer to access Samsung Pay.

2. Access the Menu: Once the app launches, tap the menu icon (usually three dots or horizontal lines in the upper left or right corner of the screen). There are several options available after accessing the menu.

3. Navigate to Settings: In the sidebar menu, scroll down and tap on "Settings." This section contains various options to manage your Samsung Pay app, including security settings.

4. Select "Change PIN" or "Reset PIN": Within the settings menu, look for the option labeled "Change PIN" or "Reset PIN." Tap on this option to begin the process of resetting your PIN.

5. Authenticate Your Identity: You must authenticate the code before changing your PIN to protect the security of your account. To verify, you need to enter your Samsung account password, iris scan, or fingerprint scan, depending on how your device is configured.

6. Enter a New PIN: You will be prompted by the system to enter a new PIN after successfully authenticating your identity. One thing to note is that you should choose a PIN that is easy for you to remember but difficult for others to guess. Because it's so simple for someone to figure out, you shouldn't use your birthdate as your password.

7. Confirmation: A confirmation message of the successfully installed PIN will be sent to you after you enter and confirm the correct new PIN. After changing, you will use the new PIN to confirm all future Samsung Pay transactions.

In most cases, continuously resetting your PIN can be an exhausting task and time consuming. While resetting your PIN is not an ideal solution in the long term, try to create a strong PIN with the steps below.

Tips for Creating a Strong PIN

• Avoid Common Numbers: Don't use easy-to-guess numbers like "1234", "0000" or your year of birth because these are the first options that others think of when wanting to hack into your account.
• Use a Unique Combination: Select and combine numbers that are not associated with your personal information, such as your phone number or home address.
• Keep It Confidential: Do not share your PIN with anyone. Treat it as sensitive information to ensure the security of your transactions.
• Memorize It: Do not write down or save your PIN, but remember your PIN to avoid revealing your security information.
