While you cannot completely remove the PIN (password) from your Versa 2 once it has been set up, you can easily change or reset it through the Fitbit app to maintain security. The PIN feature is designed to protect your device and payment information.
Understanding Your Versa 2 PIN
The PIN (Personal Identification Number) on your Versa 2 is primarily a security feature. It's essential for using services like Fitbit Pay, which allows you to make purchases directly from your wrist. Once you enable Fitbit Pay and set up a PIN, there is no option to disable or completely "remove" the PIN feature from the device. This ensures that your payment information remains secure, even if your device is lost or stolen.
Instead of removing it, you have the flexibility to change your PIN if you know the current one, or reset your PIN if you've forgotten it.
How to Change Your Versa 2 PIN
If you know your current PIN and wish to update it to a new one, perhaps for better security or easier recall, you can do so directly from the Fitbit app on your smartphone.
Steps to Change Your PIN:
- Open the Fitbit app on your paired smartphone.
- Tap on your profile picture (or account icon) in the top-left corner.
- Select your Versa 2 device from the list of devices.
- Scroll down and tap on Wallet (or Fitbit Pay).
- If prompted, enter your current Fitbit account password.
- Tap on Change PIN.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to enter your current PIN, then set and confirm your new four-digit PIN.
Your Versa 2 will then update with the new PIN. Remember to sync your device after making changes in the app.
How to Reset Your Versa 2 PIN (If Forgotten)
If you've forgotten your PIN, or if you've entered it incorrectly too many times on your Versa 2, the device will prompt you to reset it through the Fitbit app. This process helps you regain access to your device's secure features without knowing the old PIN.
Steps to Reset Your PIN:
- Open the Fitbit app on your paired smartphone.
- Tap on your profile picture (or account icon) in the top-left corner.
- Select your Versa 2 device.
- Scroll down and tap on Wallet (or Fitbit Pay).
- If prompted, enter your Fitbit account password to verify your identity.
- Tap on Reset PIN.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to create a new four-digit PIN.
Once you set a new PIN, it will immediately become active on your Versa 2.

Important Considerations
- Security: Always choose a PIN that is difficult for others to guess but easy for you to remember. Avoid simple sequences like "0000" or "1234."
- Syncing: After changing or resetting your PIN in the Fitbit app, ensure your Versa 2 syncs with your phone for the changes to take effect on the device.
- Fitbit Pay: The PIN is crucial for authorizing transactions with Fitbit Pay. You'll be prompted for your PIN if you haven't entered it recently, or after taking off and putting back on your device.
