🔒 Dashboard PIN Lock

The Dashboard PIN Lock adds an extra layer of security to your Dotb dashboard. When enabled, sensitive areas like billing, settings, and account management are protected behind a 4-digit PIN — while everyday features like managing items and orders remain accessible.

This is useful if you share the Dotb account and want to prevent accidental access to critical account settings.

Setting Up Your PIN

You can set up a dashboard PIN from your account settings:

1. Navigate to Settings from the user menu
2. Scroll to the Dashboard PIN section
3. Enter a 4-digit PIN and confirm it
4. Click Set PIN to enable protection

Once set, the dashboard will require your PIN to access protected areas.

Unlocking the Dashboard

When you navigate to a protected area, the lock screen appears:

1. Enter your 4-digit PIN
2. Click Unlock

The dashboard unlocks for your current session. Closing the browser or logging out will lock it again.

Updating or Removing Your PIN

To change or disable your PIN:

1. Go to Settings → Dashboard PIN
2. To change: enter your current PIN set a new one
3. To disable: enter your current PIN and click Disable PIN Protection

Your current PIN is always required before making changes — this prevents unauthorized modifications.

Locking the Dashboard

Once a PIN is set, you can lock the dashboard at any time:

1. Click your profile in the top-right corner
2. Select Lock dashboard from the dropdown menu

The dashboard immediately locks, and you’ll need to enter your PIN to access protected areas again.

What’s Available When Locked

When the dashboard is locked, you can still access:

Section	Access
Saved items	✅ Available
New item	✅ Available
Pending import items	✅ Available
Orders	✅ Available

This way, your employees can manage items and orders without accessing sensitive account areas.

Forgot Your PIN?

If you forget your PIN, you can reset it via email:

1. On the lock screen, click Forgot PIN?
2. A reset link is sent to your registered email
3. Click the link in the email
4. Your PIN is removed, and you regain full access

After resetting, you can set a new PIN from settings if desired.
