These are the minimum requirements for adding a user. You can add more information to the user under Additional Info and Residential Info if needed. You can also add a picture of a user by clicking on the Person Icon and clicking on "Upload" if you already have an existing picture on the PC or by clicking on "Snapshot" and linking to an existing webcam.

2. Click on the Multi-factor Authentication Password. You can then enter a PIN code. (6 Digits minimum)

Note: Even though the title says "Multi-factor Authentication Password" you can use the PIN to unlock the door. To unlock the door with the pin you must enter the user "ID" first followed by a "#" the the "6-digit PIN" followed by another "#". For the user we just created, we would enter the PIN like this "1#123456#"
