What is a master PIN code?

Answered by Ricardo McCardle

A master PIN code is a unique code that grants the user complete access and control over an igloohome smart lock. It is essentially a “master key” that can be used to unlock the lock at any time, regardless of other access restrictions or settings.

The purpose of a master PIN code is to provide a failsafe option for users in case they forget their regular PIN code or encounter any issues with other access methods. It ensures that the owner of the lock always has a reliable way to gain entry and manage the lock.

One important thing to note is that the master PIN code is different from the regular user PIN codes that can be assigned to family members, friends, or guests. While regular user PIN codes are created and managed by the owner, the master PIN code is pre-set and cannot be changed. This ensures that the owner always has a universal backup code they can rely on.

Having a master PIN code can be particularly useful in emergency situations. For example, if a family member is locked out of the house and cannot remember their PIN code, the owner can use the master PIN code to grant them access. Similarly, if a guest needs to enter the house while the owner is away, they can simply provide the master PIN code to the guest for easy access.

It is important to keep the master PIN code secure and confidential, as it holds significant power over the lock. Owners should avoid sharing the master PIN code with anyone unless absolutely necessary. By keeping the master PIN code private, the owner can maintain control and ensure that only authorized individuals can use it.
