Why Is a Password Required?

You may have noticed that when trying to dispense medication (even during the allowed time window), the system still asks for a password. Let me explain why — and how you can turn it off if you’d like a smoother experience.

🛡️ Why Is a Password Required?

The password isn’t there to slow you down — it’s a safety feature designed to protect users in real-life situations, such as:

• In households with children, where a curious button press could lead to accidental overdosing
• For individuals with memory conditions (like Alzheimer’s), who might forget they’ve already taken their dose and attempt to take it again
• In shared environments, where guests or other users may accidentally interact with the device

By asking for a password, the system confirms that the person trying to access the medication is truly authorized — not just someone pressing buttons.
