# Application Security
### App Security
The Freebees app allows you to set a PIN as a security measure to ensure that nobody can process a transaction without inputting the PIN first. The following sections will explain the different security PIN options available:
* [Enable Security PIN](#enable-security-pin)
* [Configure PIN Security Options](#configure-pin-security-options)
* [Reset Security PIN](#reset-security-pin)
* [Disable PIN Security](#disable-pin-security)
***
### Enable Security PIN
If you want to secure the Freebees app from unauthorized use, you can enable PIN security, which requires that operators to enter a 4-digit security code before processing a transaction.
