Why did we make this change?
The decision to rename Virtual Key to Visitor Pass is a simple one. The job of a Virtual Key has always been to provide visitors with a pass to your property.
Changing the name to Visitor Pass better reflects its purpose and makes it easier for your staff, tenants, and visitors to understand what the Pass is meant to do for them.
How will this name change impact you?
The name change from Virtual Key to Visitor Pass is just that — a name change. The function of Virtual Keys remains the same, it just has the new name of Visitor Pass.
You can still create and send Visitor Passes in the ButterflyMX app, using them on your video intercom, and review their usage in the OS. Furthermore, Visitor Passes take the same form as Virtual Keys: a QR code or PIN received by text with specific access times, expiration dates, and recurring schedules.
