If you want to keep your Venmo account safe, you can set a PIN in your account settings as another layer of security. By enabling this feature, the app will ask for that PIN every time the app is opened.
If you’re on the old version of the Venmo app (with the ☰ icon in the top right):
- Tap ☰
- Tap “Settings”
- Tap “Security” and select the option that includes “PIN”
If you’re on the new version of the Venmo app (without the ☰ icon):
- Go to the “You” tab by selecting the single person icon
- Tap the Settings gear in the top right
- Tap “Security” and select the option that includes “PIN”
Please note that you must have Touch ID or Fingerprint enabled in your general phone settings in order to use those features in Venmo.
