How to share virtual keys from the Remootio app?

Key sharing via QR code

1. Open the Remootio app

and swipe left or right until you find the card that belongs to the gate or garage door you want to give access to and tap on the key icon on the bottom of the screen.

Select the "key icon" on the bottom of the screen

2. Tap on "Share a new key"

Select "Share a new key"

3. Decide if you would like to share a guest key or a unique key

  • Unique keys can only be shared with one person. Access rights of unique keys can be enabled and disabled one by one.
  • Guest keys can be shared with an unlimited number of people, but the access rights can only be managed together as a group. This means that all the people in the guest key group will have the same access rights.

After deciding which type of key you would like to share with someone, please tap on the corresponding button. In this example, we share a "unique key".
