Secure Every Unattended POS Terminal
Auto-lock idle terminals, unlock with a PIN or an Odoo password, and give managers a full audit trail, live dashboard, and remote unlock — so every till stays accountable and every screen stays secure.
The problem
When a cashier steps away from an active POS terminal to help a customer, fetch stock, or take a break, the till stays fully open under their credentials. Anyone nearby can process refunds, void lines, open the cash drawer, or ring up sales under someone else's identity — native POS has no lock screen to stop it.
The solution
Screen Lock using PIN adds automatic and manual locking to every POS terminal, with PIN or password unlock, brute-force protection, a manager override, and a complete audit trail — so unattended terminals are secured and every action stays attributable to the person who performed it.
Everything a secure, accountable POS terminal needs
Every capability below is implemented in the module.
Configurable Auto-Lock & Manual Lock
Set an inactivity timeout per terminal so an idle POS locks itself automatically, or let staff lock it instantly with one tap on the navbar before stepping away.
Unlock with PIN or Odoo Password
Staff unlock with a dedicated POS PIN or their existing Odoo password — no new credential to memorize, and every unlock is tied to the person who performed it.
Brute-Force Lockout Protection
Repeated failed PIN attempts trigger a temporary lockout with a visible retry timer, closing the door on unlimited guessing against an unattended screen.
Manager Override Unlock
A supervisor can release any locked terminal with a manager PIN, without a password reset or IT involvement, so a stuck till never stalls a line.
Complete Audit Trail
Every lock and unlock event is logged with the user, terminal, and timestamp, giving managers full accountability for actions on every terminal.
Lock-Before-Payment Enforcement
Optionally require an authenticated, unlocked state before payment processing, protecting the single most sensitive step of the transaction.
Visual Countdown & Grace-Period Resume
A countdown banner warns before auto-lock engages, and a configurable grace period lets a returning cashier resume the exact same session instantly — no "Resume Session" click.
Live Multi-Terminal Dashboard & Remote Unlock
See every terminal's lock status, who locked it, and since when, from one kanban or list dashboard — and unlock any of them remotely with a click.
Compliance Reports & Failed-Attempt Alerts
Generate a PCI-DSS-ready audit report for any date range and POS, and get alerted by email automatically when failed unlock attempts cross a threshold.
How it works
Configure timeouts & PINs
Set the inactivity timeout, brute-force threshold, manager PIN, and lock-screen branding from Settings, then give each cashier a POS PIN or let them use their Odoo password.
Terminal locks automatically or manually
The POS locks itself after the configured idle period with a countdown warning, or a cashier locks it instantly with one tap before stepping away.
Unlock and resume instantly
Enter the PIN or password — or resume free during the grace period — and the exact prior screen returns immediately, with no extra click.
Review audit trail & compliance reports
Managers watch the live dashboard, remotely unlock stuck terminals, and export PCI-DSS-ready compliance reports on demand.
