Your Roku account ties together every channel you have added and the payment card behind your subscriptions and rentals, so a strong, current password is worth a moment of your time. Whether you are tightening security or removing access you once shared, our GetMyPassword team covers how to change your Roku password, reset it when you are locked out, and keep your streaming and billing details safe.
Change your password on the Roku site
- Sign in at my.roku.com from a browser.
- Open Update next to your name and email under account settings.
- Find the password field and enter a new password.
- Confirm your current password if asked, and save.
Roku passwords are managed on the website, not on the TV device itself, so always make the change at my.roku.com.
Reset a forgotten password
On the sign-in page choose Forgot password? and enter your account email. Roku sends a reset link; open it and create a new password. Because your Roku login controls billing, treat that email account as important too and keep it secured.
Do not confuse your password with your Roku PIN
Roku has two separate secrets: the account password that logs you in, and a 4-digit PIN that authorises purchases and channel installs. Setting a purchase PIN under my.roku.com → PIN Preferences stops anyone — including kids — from buying or adding channels without it, even if the TV is already signed in.
A signed-in Roku can rent and buy with one click. The account password protects login, but the purchase PIN is what stops accidental or unwanted spending — set both.
Secure it with a unique password
Since the account links to a card, give it a password you use nowhere else. Generate a unique one with our password generator, store it in a password manager, and add a purchase PIN. A unique password plus a PIN keeps both your streaming and your wallet protected.
Frequently asked questions
How do I change my Roku password on the TV?
You cannot change it on the TV itself. Roku account passwords are managed at my.roku.com in a web browser; the change then applies to the TV automatically the next time it checks in.
What is the difference between my Roku password and PIN?
The password signs you in to your account; the 4-digit PIN authorises purchases and channel additions. Set both for full protection, especially if children use the device.
Why didn’t my Roku reset email arrive?
Check your spam folder and confirm you used the email tied to the account. Reset links expire, so request a new one if needed, and make sure you have access to that inbox.
