Key Notes
Before You Change the PIN
Guest Access and Full Access each have their own 4-digit PIN — always set different PINs for each access type. After changing a PIN, guests who previously had the old PIN will need the updated one to access the event. You can also toggle Do Not Ask PIN in the Share panel if you want guests to skip PIN entry entirely.
