# Changing your PingID mobile app PIN

If you have to enter a PIN code each time you open or user the PingID mobile app, you can change it from within the app.

## About this task

Your PIN code must include at least 3 or 4 different digits for 4 and 6-digit PIN lengths, respectively, and you can't choose digits that are in ascending or descending sequence, such as 1234.

2. Tap the **Menu** icon (![Screen shot showing the Menu icon](../_images/sbz1693734715521.png)), and then tap**Change PIN**(![Screen capture showing the Change PIN icon](_images/cpe1693734824726.png) ).

3. Enter your current PIN code, and then enter a new PIN code.

   ### Result:

   You'll see a message telling you that your PIN is successfully changed, and the next time you open the app or authenticate with PingID, you'll be asked to enter the new PIN.
