PIN (kiosk)

You can require your employees to enter a personal 4-digit PIN to clock in via a kiosk.

PIN is an extra feature, that you can enable by upgrading your account to any PAID plan.

Enabling PIN #

When you create or edit a kiosk, you need to enable the “Requires PIN” checkbox. If you don’t, everyone can select anyone’s profile and clock in for them.

Each kiosk also comes with a Universal PIN that allows you to clock in and out for anyone on the kiosk (except admin).

For example, you can tell this Universal PIN code to a shift manager so they can clock in for others if needed.

Entering PIN #

Each person automatically gets a personal PIN code.

When an employee opens a kiosk, they select their profile, and enter their personal PIN code to clock in.

A person can also enter that kiosk’s Universal PIN code (if you know it), which overrides an employee’s personal PIN code.

You can’t sign into admin’s profile with Universal PIN.
