Setting a PIN

Request

If a PIN has not been set for the account (or if the PIN setting procedure was started on a different device but not completed), the client application should prompt the user to set the PIN. The client should do this for each defined PIN type.

To determine the status of the PIN, see Getting the status of all PINs for the account.

To set a PIN, send a POST request to:

https://<host>:<port>/adm/v1/user/accounts/actions/pin

Example

A POST request with this payload sets the PIN for the account:
