Kontakt.io Standard is the level of security which can be seen as the current industry standard. Basically, it provides your beacons with a debug lock in the firmware on our Nordic chipset, as well a a 3-tier password protection for accessing and managing your beacons.

Each Smart/Tough Beacon has two unique passwords;

• one changeable password for configuring beacons (major, minor, tx-power, interval, etc.)
• one unchangeable master password for major changes (firmware updates)

Every user account has a third password (or social login) you’ll need when using our Web Panel, and Kontakt.io Admin Apps.

Configuring beacons with firmware 3.1 or older. A new configuration can be created via our beacon management platform (Web Panel) or directly via the API, and it will remain in a pending state until applied. Since beacons aren’t connected to the Internet, to update your beacons with your new configuration, you'll need to get in range of the beacon with a device running our Kontakt.io Admin App. It's worth noting when logged into the Admin App, the app will fetch beacon-specific passwords to provision them, so you don't need to type them in individually.
