Full-access vs guest PIN
What each 4-digit PIN unlocks, where to find them, and how to revoke and regenerate a PIN when a link has been shared too widely.
2 min
Every event has two 4-digit PINs. Both are shown on the event page (under the event name), in the Share Link dialog and in Settings → PIN Management.
What each PIN unlocks
| Full Access PIN | Guest Access PIN | |
|---|---|---|
| Meant for | Couple, family, client | Guests, relatives, colleagues |
| Photos visible | All photos, all folders | Photos they appear in (after a selfie). All photos too if Let guests browse all photos is on |
| Selfie needed | No | Yes, to see their matches |
| Details form | Only if Ask full-access viewers to fill the form is on | Only if Ask guests to fill the form is on |
| Downloads | As allowed in Guest experience | As allowed in Guest experience |
| Folders | Shown as tabs | Shown only when browsing all photos is allowed |
The link is the same for both: https://<link>.vowpix.in. The PIN decides what the person gets.
Regenerate a PIN
Use this when a PIN was posted somewhere public or sent to the wrong group.
- Open the event, press Settings and scroll to PIN Management.
- Press Revoke & Regenerate under the PIN you want to replace, and confirm.
- A new PIN is shown in the toast and on the page. Anyone using the old PIN is locked out immediately.
- Share the new PIN, or copy a fresh link from Share Link (the link includes the new PIN).
Client selection PINs
Client album shares use a separate 6-digit PIN per client. Those are managed in the Client Shares tab, not here. See Client album selection.
Problems
| Problem | Fix |
|---|---|
| "Incorrect PIN" | Check for a swapped digit, and make sure the gallery is published. |
| Guest sees every photo but should not | They used the full-access PIN, or browsing all photos is on. Regenerate the full-access PIN and review the setting. |
| PIN works but the gallery is empty | Photos are still indexing, or they are in a folder and browsing is off. Wait a minute or switch browsing on. |
