How do I use the device lock on my Fitbit device?

To help keep your Fitbit device secure, turn on the device lock in the Fitbit app. You'll be prompted to enter a personal 4-digit PIN code to unlock your device. If you set up Google Wallet, the device lock is turned on automatically and you’re prompted to set a code.

For more information on how to use Google Wallet, refer to What should I know about using my Fitbit device to make contactless payments?
