Password Protection for Functions and Transactions

Password Protection for Functions and Transactions

For added security, you can require the Merchant password for certain functions or transactions before the operation can proceed. By default, this security measure is enabled for the following functions and transactions:

• Reimbursements (refund and void)

• Sales transactions (cash, force post, swipe)

• Exiting the Secure Payment application

By default, all of the operations listed above have password protection enabled. Reimbursement transactions are always password protected, but you can select if the transaction requires the Admin or Merchant password.

You can disable the password protection on certain sales transactions and exiting the Secure Payment application if desired, but that leaves the terminal vulnerable to unauthorized use where any person could perform those functions.

NOTE: To ensure the security of your transactions, it is strongly recommended that you enable the use of passwords for the selected functions.
