How to share app-free keys

One great advantage of Remootio is the possibility to share virtual keys. Each regular Remootio device comes with 20 unique keys and one guest key that can be shared with other people.

Unique keys are the recommended way to share keys with others, and sharing them has a lot of benefits compared to always sharing the guest key. 

Keys can be shared in several ways, including QR code, text message or email.
However, thanks to the latest update, we added a new feature to facilitate key sharing options for our users;

So, the new feature gives us the possibility to share app-based or app-free keys. 

Prerequisites;

App-based key

In case of the app-based key, the recipient can add the key to their Remootio application by scanning the QR code using the 'receive key' function of their Remootio smartphone app or by using the link shared with them.
