You cannot change the email address yourself. Please contact customer service at support@payiq.net from the same email address you have used in registration and tell your new email address. After this, logging in to the app is done using the new email address.

The app has been designed so that there isn’t a need to logout. However, it’s possible to lock the app with a PIN code. This is how you take PIN lock into use:

  • Give your existing PIN code
  • Take the feature into use and choose lock delay. Alternatives are between immediately – one hour.
  • The app will lock after the delay if it’s closed, or other apps are used in the meantime. App can only be unlocked with the PIN code.
