Your app PIN and Face ID

iOS 1 min read

Your own 4-digit PIN opens the Vendwa app and confirms sensitive changes. Face ID can unlock it faster. 5 wrong tries freeze it for 24 hours.

Your phone can get lost, borrowed or picked up by a curious child. Your PIN keeps your shop closed to them.

Your PIN

Everyone on the team has their own 4-digit PIN. You create it when you sign up or accept an invite. Vendwa asks for it:

  • when you open the app;
  • when you come back to the app after the time in Lock again after (1 minute unless you change it);
  • before some sensitive changes.

Pick 4 digits nobody can guess. Not 1234, not your birthday.

Unlock with Face ID

  1. Open Account, then Security.
  2. Turn on Face ID.

The lock screen then offers Face ID first. Your PIN still works.

Change your PIN

  1. Open Account, Security, Your PIN.
  2. Tap Change.
  3. Type your current PIN, then the new one twice.

If you forget it

Only Vendwa support can reset a PIN. Write to support@vendwa.com from the email on your account.

Wrong PINs

After 5 wrong tries, your PIN is frozen for 24 hours. Then you can try again. Your shop keeps selling the whole time.

Good to know

  • The app checks your PIN with Vendwa, not on the phone. So unlocking needs the internet.
  • If you are the owner, your PIN and your Shop PIN are the same 4 digits. Change one and the other changes too. See Your Shop PIN and changing your MoMo number.
  • Had a 6-digit PIN? The app asks you to choose a new 4-digit one once.
