When you first install and set up your Google Nest × Yale Lock, you’ll be asked to create a Master Passcode on the lock itself. Once you connect your lock to the Nest app, you won’t need the Master Passcode anymore. You will only use passcodes that you’ve created with the Nest app
You’ll only need the Master Passcode during the installation and set up process so that you can connect the lock to the Nest app. After that, you won’t need the Master Passcode anymore.
Each person that shares access to your home will create a unique passcode with the Nest app. You’ll generate a passcode for people with Home Entry Only access.
