The App version is listed at the bottom of this menu. ## Do I need to download both the August App and the Yale Access App if I have products from both brands? No you do not have to have both apps.

PLEASE NOTE: The same username and password should be used when logging into either app. ## Why can’t I access the App from a desktop computer? Currently, our App is optimized for iOS and Android mobile devices. August uses a token to authorize your mobile device entry to your home. For security purposes, this won’t work with a desktop application. ## How do I delete a user from a device? Only device Owners are authorized to add/remove or restrict others’ access.

If you experience this, try closing out of the app completely, reopening, and reconnecting to the lock. ## Why did a device disappear from the App?
