Configure the admin menu passcodePublic preview
Customize the admin menu passcode for your readers.
The admin menu on smart readers provides access to a readers’s wifi settings, appearance settings, and diagnostics details.
The default passcode to access the admin menu on your smart reader is 07139. For security, you should set your own custom 5 digit passcode.
Caution
Ensure your admin passcodes are secure and not easily guessable. Avoid common patterns like sequential numbers (12345) or repeated digits (11111).
You can set an account-level default passcode, which applies to all readers in your fleet. You can also set a custom passcode for individual locations, which overrides the account-level default passcode. Locations that don’t have a custom passcode inherit the account-level default passcode, or the Stripe default passcode if you don’t set an account-level default.
You can configure admin menu passcodes in the Dashboard or with the Configuration API. You can also use the Dashboard to see the currently set or inherited passcode.
