How to Set Up Unique PINs for Faster Login on Shared Devices
This article explains how Jolt users on shared (multi-user) mobile devices can skip the login user selection step by setting up unique PINs for faster login.
Unique PIN Login
What is it?
A feature that allows users to skip the login user selection step if all users have unique PINs.
Why does it matter?
Saves time by allowing users to access Jolt with just their PIN, without needing to select their name.
Ideal for shared devices that remain on-site.
Note: Users on single-user devices (e.g., personal phones or tablets) only need to log in once with their email and password and will stay logged in if configured for single-user mode.
How Does It Work?
Ensure Unique PINs:
All login PINs in the location must be unique.
A user with Location Website Admin permissions or higher can manage this on the People page of the Web Portal.
Check for Duplicate PINs:
Navigate to the People page.
In the Location Switcher at the top right, select the location you want to check.
You will be in Location Mode and see a tab with the location name and a count of active people.
Click the PIN column header to sort people by PIN and check for duplicates.
Change a User’s PIN:
Click on the user’s row to display their profile.
Change their PIN and click Save.
Bulk Edit PINs:
To reassign unique PINs to everyone, click the Bulk Edit button on the People page.
Update all users' PINs in one view to ensure uniqueness.
Login with Unique PINs:
Once all PINs are unique, users will only need to enter their PIN when they tap Log In on a shared mobile device.
