In Settings, you can customize your Virtual Keypad experience and edit some system settings. The settings available to you depend on your system and permissions.

General

Save User Code

Enable to save your user code so you won’t need to enter your code every time you log in to Virtual Keypad.

Default System

Enable to make the current system automatically display after logging in.

Temperature Unit

Choose either F (Fahrenheit) or C (Celsius).

Two-Factor Authentication

Tap Configure to enable Two-Factor Authentication, then complete the prompts on the screen. Two-Factor Authentication requires you to enter a security code from a text or email each time you log into Virtual Keypad. This provides an extra layer of security for your Virtual Keypad account.

Change Password

Tap Configure to change your password. The new password must contain a minimum of 10 characters and must contain two of the following four types of characters:

Lowercase letters
Uppercase letters
Numbers
Symbols

Enter your new password in New Password, then enter your new password in Confirm Password. Select Change Password.

Combine Logins

If you have multiple Virtual Keypad logins, you can combine them into one login. For example, if you have one login for your work system and another for your home system, you can combine these logins to access both systems with a single email and password. To combine logins:

Log in to Virtual Keypad using the email and password you want to use to access all your systems. This is your primary login.
Tap the profile icon in the top right corner, then select Settings.
Select Login in the top menu.
Select Configure next to Combine Logins.
Select Add another login.
Enter the email and password of your other system. These credentials will become invalid once combined with the primary login.
Select Combine Logins. A list of the systems connected to the primary login appears.
Repeat Steps 5-7 to combine more logins.

Note: After combining logins:

If the primary login used Two-Factor Authentication, you will continue using the primary email or phone number to do Two-Factor Authentication.
If the primary login did not use Two-Factor Authentication and the secondary login did via email, you will use the primary email to do Two-Factor Authentication.
If the primary login did not use Two-Factor Authentication and the secondary login did via text message, you will use the secondary logins' phone number to do Two-Factor Authentication.

You can assign a chime sound to certain zones in your system.
