Click on the 'Settings' button and gear icon located at the bottom of your screen. It is the last button in the navigation bar. Once you click that, you will see a comprehensive screen of various account information that you can access and edit. Here you can update your personal details, change your security PIN, modify your subscription plan, manage notification preferences, and adjust privacy settings.

If you need to change your pin, you'll find that option here under 'Security Settings'.

3. Enter Your Current PIN

In order to change your PIN, you will be asked to enter your existing PIN first. Click 'Next' once you have typed in your existing PIN.

(If you have forgotten it, you will see a 'Forgot PIN?' button when you first try to log in to the app. Use that flow if you have forgotten your PIN.)

4. Create A New PIN

Then you will be prompted to create a new PIN. This 6-digit security PIN encrypts and decrypts your data, providing an essential layer of protection for your sensitive information. You will use this PIN to log into the app every time you wish to use it.

Choose a unique combination that is not easily guessable, avoiding common sequences like 123456 or personal dates. For security reasons, your PIN should be different from other PINs you use for banking or other services. After entering your new PIN, you'll be asked to confirm it by entering it a second time to prevent any typing errors.

5. Confirm Your New PIN

Confirm your new PIN by entering it again on this screen. This is done to prevent any typing errors. Double-checking ensures that you haven't mistyped your intended PIN combination. If the PINs don't match, you'll receive an error message and be prompted to try again.

Once successfully confirmed, the system will verify and update your security credentials. Your new PIN will be active immediately for all future logins. Remember that this PIN is the primary key to accessing your sensitive information, so take a moment to commit it to memory or securely note it somewhere safe before proceeding.
