Xiaomi MI 9: Change PIN - how it works

Smartphones are among the most personal devices of a user. Banking apps, private photos and messages are stored on smart devices and must be protected accordingly. The easiest way to do this is to set a PIN via the settings.

How to change the PIN on the Xiaomi MI 9

The term PIN can mean two different PINs: either the SIM PIN or the phone PIN. You can change both codes at will on the Xiaomi MI 9.

1. Open the settings by tapping the corresponding app. Then continue to "More Settings" > "Privacy" > "SIM card lock" > "Change PIN".
2. Now you just need to type the old SIM PIN and then enter the new one twice. The SIM card now has a new PIN.
3. To change the screen PIN, go to the settings and then continue to "Lock screen & Password" > "Set screen lock".
4. In the following menu, you can choose which lock option you want to use. You have the choice between pattern (draw a pattern), a PIN (a four to six digit number combination) or a password (four or more letters or numbers).
5. For security reasons, you should take a password and make it so that it contains numbers, letters and special characters.
6. Tap on the lock method you want to use and confirm the process with "Understood". Now you need to enter the old PIN and could then set the new.
