How to change pin for Google Pay? Using Charge 6

[hfisk1]

I've just set up Google Pay and set the code to a high number, now every time I want to use my card it takes about 20 seconds to enter the code. This means that the feature is completely useless if I have my phone which is a lot quicker. Is there any way to change your Google Wallet pin? Also, I'm using an iPhone so can't get onto the Google Wallet app itself only through Fitbit. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi, @hfisk1 Welcome to the community, I'm glad you posted for the first time!

Thanks for asking this interesting question, I imagine how this situation when entering the PIN could impact your purchases using the Charge 6.

You can follow these steps to change the PIN, it will be directly using your Google account:

- Open your Google Account. You might need to sign in.
- Under "Security," select Signing in to Google.
- Choose Google Account PIN. You might need to sign in again.
- Choose Change PIN.
- Choose a strong PIN, and follow the steps on the screen.
- Select Save.

I hope this information finds you well!

Step 1: Open your Google Account. You might need to sign in.

Where do I do this?  On my phone?  On my laptop?

This answer isn't very useful.

I tried this but this does not change the PIN to unlock Google Wallet on the Charge 6, I think it's a different PIN to access your Google account elsewhere.

Is there a way to change the unlock PIN on the Charge 6?

I've just figured it out. On the fitbit app click on the top left where  it shows the charge of your devices then select charge 6. Scroll down to Device Lock. This let's you change the unlock PIN for the device.

In case others are struggling to spot it, device lock is now hidden under Device preferences (rather than, say, Google Wallet or System).

I figured out that once u put the pin in once it wont ask for it again unless you reset the watch or take it off your wrist. As long as it has a pulse it can't be stolen so doesn't need a pin each time.

I went to device settings and device lock and change my pin. I keep getting asked for my old pin before I can  enter a new one. I don't remember my old pin. And I keep getting locked out

[LisaHamilton65]

I have the same problem. I don't remember where my Fitbit Google Play pin

My Google account is much longer than four digits. Nor can I find any of this:

Security," select Signing in to Google.

- Choose Google Account PIN. You might need to sign in again.

- Choose Change PIN.

- Choose a strong PIN, and follow the steps on the screen.

- Select Save.
