How to Reset Oculus PIN

How to Reset Oculus (Meta) PIN (Without Old PIN!)

The PIN you set for your Oculus account is important for a few reasons. First, it helps verify your identity and second, it helps make purchasing within the Meta Quest Store easier.

If you’ve forgotten your Oculus PIN and need to reset it, you have few options. But using the Meta Quest smart phone app is easiest.

To reset your Oculus PIN start by accessing the Meta Quest app and then select Menu at the bottom right-hand corner of the screen followed by Settings > Account Settings > Reset Meta Quest PIN > Forgot PIN > Request PIN Reset. You’ll receive an email from “[email protected]” containing a reset link.

This link is the final step and you’ll be prompted to reset your PIN!

Use the Meta Quest smart phone app to reset PIN

By far the easiest way to reset your Oculus PIN is by using the Meta Quest smart phone app.

Start by downloading the Meta Quest app to your smart device:

If it’s your first time downloading the app, you’ll be prompted to set up a PIN. But since you’re here to reset your PIN, I’m sure you’re well past this step…

Keep in mind that the email may take a bit of time to arrive in your inbox. If you don’t see the email from “[email protected]” in your inbox after several minutes, be sure to check your spam and promotion folders!

If the email never arrives, follow the steps above again.

Use the Meta Quest website to reset PIN

If you don’t have the Meta Quest app, for whatever reason, you can still reset your PIN even if you’ve forgotten it using the Meta Quest Website.

1. To start, visit your profile at https://secure.oculus.com/my/profile/. Here you can login with Facebook, Instagram, or set up an account with an email address.

This will automatically trigger an email to your inbox with a final link to reset your PIN. Once again, give this email a few minutes to arrive. If it doesn’t, check spam and promotional folders.

Use the Meta Quest Desktop app to reset PIN

One final option to reset your Quest PIN is to use the Oculus Desktop app.

NOTE: If you don’t already have this desktop app downloaded, I’d personally use the Quest mobile app or the Quest website.

1. Start by opening up the Oculus desktop application on your computer. If you don’t have the app, you can download it here.

2. Choose “Settings” from the menu navigation on the left-hand side
