keypad entry
Punch-in authentication
Keypad entry is a method of gaining access by punching a numeric code into a keypad, typically to unlock a door or gate: The building uses keypad entry instead of traditional keys.
The term also describes the physical system itself—the keypad, lock mechanism, and associated hardware.
Keypad entry appears in security contexts for offices, apartment buildings, and gated communities.
