change the device code

I am wondering if we can change the device code sign in for our Square Terminal or do we have to use the one they gave us.

You can create your own device codes in settings.

Hey @PSharp I wanted to add a little bit to @jjgard's reply to your question. Here is some information on how to accomplish Creating and managing your Device codes:

Create Device Codes

From Account & Settings > Business > Devices in your online Square Dashboard.
Click Create Device.
Enter a Nickname and click Create to generate your code.
Choose to send your code via email or phone number and tap Send.
Open the Square app on your mobile device and tap Sign In.
Tap “Use a Device Code” and enter the code.
The device status in your dashboard should say Active.

If you have team members, they can clock in with their personal passcode and will have access based on their permissions group.

Note: If not used within 48 hours, a device code will expire and you’ll need to reset it to sign in to the Square app.

Reset or Deactivate a Device Code

If your device is misplaced or stolen or you would like a new code, you can reset your device code from Devices in your online Square Dashboard. To do so:

Click the device to reset or deactivate.
Click Reset Device Login or Deactivate and confirm your request.
If you reset, you’ll be given a new device code.

For basic device code troubleshooting, update your device’s software and update the Square app.

I hope this information is helpful!
