Orange TV also has its own security measures to protect certain content and functions for its users. One of these methods is the PIN code and we tell you everything you need to know about it.
When we first set up our Orange television service , we probably found that the system requested the configuration of a PIN code from the very beginning. Although we are quite used to this type of security measures on our mobile devices, we are not always used to this when we use our Smart TV or any similar device.
However, both Orange and other companies require the configuration of these types of codes to protect both the content they offer and to limit certain settings.
What is the Orange PIN code?
The Orange PIN code is an extra layer of security that offers users the possibility of having at their disposal all the configuration options offered by their television service. With it, we can unlock a series of functions and access all the series, films and programmes included in the plan we have contracted, without limitations.
By default, the Orange TV PIN code is four zeros. But we can change it whenever we want from the “Entertainment” section, in the “Passwords” section. Next, we must click on “Change purchase/parental PIN” and enter the 4-digit code that we want to use from now on.
What is this four-digit numeric code for?
Now that we know what it is and how we can change it to a familiar number, it is time to find out what it is used for. The orange operator explains that the PIN code will be used to carry out different actions, such as the following:
- Make purchases of premium content through the Orange TV app and the My Orange app. In this way, Orange protects us from our young children or any other user of our Smart TV being able to make any purchase without our consent.
- Orange also requires these keys to access the advanced configuration menus on our set-top box. Without this code, we will only be able to access the most basic functions of our device, without being able to fully customize the experience it offers us.
- Finally, it will also allow us to bypass parental controls and certify that it is, in fact, us who are trying to make the changes. Orange TV has configured its system in this way to prevent the little ones in the house from being unable to access other types of content that are not suitable for their age when they want to access these titles.
As we have seen, the Orange TV PIN is very useful for carrying out a large number of tasks. Personalizing it with a personal code is essential to be able to use it when we need to configure the content that our Smart TV displays at any time.
