Understand how admins and employees sign in
The two ways into the system: admins use an email and password for the dashboard, employees use a 4-digit PIN at the kiosk.
There are two doors into Tiny Time Keeper, and they're kept separate on purpose. Admins sign in to the dashboard with an email and password. Employees punch in and out at the office iPad with a 4-digit PIN. Admins do not have a PIN, and employees do not have a dashboard password.
How admins sign in
On the sign-in page, an admin enters their Email and Password and selects Sign In, which opens the dashboard. They stay signed in on that device, so day to day they rarely re-enter it. If they'd rather not type a password, they can select Email me a sign-in link and open the link from their inbox instead.
Locked out?
On the sign-in page, an admin can select Forgot your password? to get a reset link by email. From Administrators, you can also open Actions on their row and choose Send password recovery.
How employees sign in
Employees don't sign in with email or a password at all. At the office iPad, an employee taps their 4-digit PIN on the PIN pad to clock in or out. The PIN works only on an authorized device, so it's useless on a personal phone. To check their hours from anywhere, an employee signs in to the employee portal — but that's view-only and can't be used to punch.
Why keep them separate
A PIN is fast for the morning rush at a shared iPad; an email and password is the right fit for the dashboard, where one person manages everyone's records. Keeping the two apart means an employee's PIN never opens the dashboard, and an admin's password is never needed at the kiosk.
