Add, change, or reset a profile PIN – discovery+ Help Center

Profile PINs are optional. When you create a Profile PIN for a particular profile, you can prevent other household members from viewing that profile.

For each profile, you can create a 4-digit Profile PIN to lock that profile.

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