The use of this feature can enhance your PokerStars account security and reduce your risk to key loggers and phishing attacks. However no single feature in itself can completely eliminate the risk involved.
Be aware that if an unauthorised individual is able to get access to your incoming emails they will be able to request a new PokerStars PIN for your account.
A PokerStars PIN helps to reduce the risk, and is an important part of our comprehensive security strategy.
