The use of PIN codes for users is designed to make it easier to work with multiple users in the same account.

Without PIN codes, users have to switch between the different user accounts and need to enter the password every time, which can easily go wrong. Users may end up using another account instead of their own, which makes it difficult to monitor who has actually mixed the paint.

The option to use a PIN code makes it possible to stay in any user account because when a mix is started, it will ask for the PIN code, and that mix will then be stored under the name connected to that PIN.

Note: It is recommended to stay logged in with a user account that has only the Painter role.

In this article, we will explain how to implement the PIN code feature in your shop.

1. Enable PIN codes in your shop

   To enable PIN codes in your shop, you have to log in as the shop owner, go to the configuration page, and enable "Enable PIN codes"
   
   

2. Create PIN code

   When the PIN code feature is enabled, you have to save the settings and go to My Account and click on My Account Info

   

   In the next window, you need to click on GENERATE NEW PIN CODE

   

   The next window appears. Here, you have to enter the password of your account and press OK before a PIN code is generated

   
   

   After pressing the OK button in the previous screen, a unique PIN is automatically created by the system

   

   Once the PIN code has been set, you will be asked to enter the PIN every time you want to start a mix

   

   After you enter your PIN code, you can start and complete the mix, and it will be stored in Mix History under your name

   

    

3. How to recover forgotten PIN code

   In case you forgot your PIN code, you have to log in to your own account to recover your PIN code. Go to My Account and click on My Account Info

   

   Click on the little icon marked with the red square in the next screen
   

   Enter the password of your account in the next window

   

   This will reveal the PIN code

   In some cases, it might be necessary to create a new PIN code—for example, when you suspect that your PIN is being used by others.

   To create a new PIN code, simply follow the steps as described in point 1.
