# 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.

IMPORTANT! If you forget the security PIN, you will be unable to process a gift card or loyalty transaction and you will have to uninstall then reinstall and configure the app.
{% endhint %}
#### **To enable and assign a security PIN:**
1. On the main page, touch the **ADMIN** button at the bottom of the screen.

### Reset Security PIN
If you want to change the security PIN, you can quickly reset it to a new 4-digit code. Changing the security PIN on occasion is considered good "security hygiene" as a way to prevent the terminal and the Freebees app from unauthorized use.
