Abstract

Managing access by a user includes requesting an access code from an external server, the external server providing the access code to the user only if the user is authorized for access, the access code being provided to an input unit, and the user being granted access by a security component if the access code is valid. The input unit may be a keypad. The access code maybe provided using RF communication, such as NFC, Bluetooth, and/or Bluetooth Smart. The device may request the access code from the external server. The device may be a mobile device. Managing access by a user may also include the user entering a PIN in addition to the access code. The pin may be entered by the user's device. The access may be to a physical area and the user may be granted access by having a door open.
