System Settings | Security Enhancement

This feature is only available in Advanced mode.

  • Require Dual Credential for Keypad Access: When enabled, a preconfigured numeric credential type labeled User ID will be automatically added to the Credentials tab of each existing and new user. When adding or updating a user, the presence of a valid unique User ID will be enforced. Both the User ID and the user’s PIN will be required for the user to gain access to a keypad.

  • Allow PIN Duplication: When enabled, this option allows more than one user to have the same PIN. This is only available when the Require Dual Credential for Keypad Access mode has been enabled.

    The PIN only and Card or PIN door types are not compatible with duplicate PINs, as there is no way to uniquely identify the user who is requesting access.

  • Default PIN length: Defines the length of PIN that will be generated by the system. If the Default PIN length is 6 and the Minimum PIN length is 4, the system will first generate new PINs 6 digits in length. Once those are depleted it will generate PINs with 7 digits, then 8 digits, then 5 digits, and finally 4 digits.
  • Minimum PIN length: The minimum number of digits (options between 1-8) that will be permitted when manually entering PINs and when PINs are automatically generated.
  • Maximum Sequential Digits: The maximum number of sequential digits (options between 2-4) that will be permitted or generated for PINs. For example, selecting 4 will allow a numerical sequence of 1234 or 4321 but not 12345. Selecting <not set> will allow a numerical sequence of more than 4 digits, for example 12345.
  • Maximum Repetitive Digits: The maximum repetitive digits (options between 2-4) allowed for a user PIN. Selecting <not set> allows more than 4 repetitive digits, for example 11111.

  • PIN Expiry Time: The frequency at which users will be prompted to reset their PIN at a keypad.

    NOTE: When PIN expiry is enabled, regardless of the expiry time, ANY PIN created or edited through the user Interface will immediately expire on first use. The user will be required to set their own permanent PIN when next logging in at a keypad. This ensures that only the user knows their PIN.
