Turn Purchase PIN on and off for your X1 device

With Xfinity X1, you can turn the Purchase PIN on and off by using the on-screen guide. Remember, you don’t need a Purchase PIN for free Xfinity On Demand content.

Notes:

• The Purchase PIN is turned off by default.
• When you turn the Purchase PIN option on for the first time, you’ll be prompted to choose your PIN.
  • Once it’s set up, you’ll need to enter it any time you want to make Xfinity purchases on that device, and you’ll need to set up a Purchase PIN for each X1 TV Box you have.
• Your Xfinity Purchase PIN may not apply to third-party apps; they may not require one or you may need to set up an additional purchase pin specific to the app you’re using.
