# Port-Out PIN: New Layer of Protection

### 21, Jun 2023

**We are excited to announce the release of Port-Out PIN Protection, a new feature that enhances the security of your Telnyx account and provides you with greater control over port-out requests.**

Set a default Port-Out PIN at the account level, or, configure unique PINs for specific phone numbers. With Port-Out PIN Protection, only authorized requests will be processed, giving you an additional layer of protection and peace of mind. Please note that Port-Out PIN Protection is available for on-net US numbers only.

You can enable Port-Out PIN Protection in 3 easy steps:

1. Log into your [Mission Control Portal](https://portal.telnyx.com/) account.
2. In the navigation bar on the left side of the screen, click on the Account Settings dropdown menu and then select My Account.
3. On the General tab of your Account Settings, scroll down to the Security section and click to toggle Enable Port-Out Pins.

You also have the option to configure individual Port-Out PIN settings for specific phone numbers; take a look at our [support page](https://support.telnyx.com/en/articles/8006189-port-out-pin-protection#h%5F9d6c310f07) for details.
