What is a Roku account?
A Roku® account allows you to activate your streaming device, access entertainment across thousands of streaming channels, manage your subscriptions, add Roku Smart Home devices, and personalize your experience.
Roku accounts are FREE: Roku never charges any fees for creating a Roku account, activating a Roku device, or providing customer or service support.
- To set up a free Roku account, provide your name, valid email address, and a strong, secure password. Roku uses your email address to contact you about important account, subscription, and billing information.
- You may be asked to add a payment method when you set up a Roku account. When you add a payment method, you can quickly and easily use Roku Pay to start free trials, sign up for subscriptions, and make other purchases. You'll only be charged if you make a purchase.
- Sign in to your Roku account at anytime to access your Roku account, update preferences, and manage subscriptions.

How to manage multiple Roku accounts
If you own multiple Roku devices, you may have created multiple Roku accounts. Roku recommends linking all Roku devices to one Roku account so that you don’t have multiple accounts and can keep track of your purchases, payment method, password, PIN, parental controls, and other important information all in one place.
Your Roku account also allows you to sync multiple devices so that channels installed on one device are automatically added to all the others. In addition, your Roku account saves playback in The Roku Channel, so you can start a movie or TV show on one device and resume playback on a different device.
