Your 4-digit PIN, which is separate from your GEICO login information, is a way to further protect your account through Alexa. Setting a PIN reduces the risk that other people could access your account through the skill. Adding this extra layer of security helps to protect your information from intruders, and even from someone accidentally changing something on your account!
If you would like to change your PIN, you can do so by logging into the Alexa app and disabling the GEICO skill. When you re-enable the skill you will be able to set a new PIN.
