Features & Capabilities

Paxton Key is a Chrome extension that lets you use your iPhone as a virtual key for Paxton10 v3.3+ systems. When paired with a Paxton10 setup, you can present your iPhone to a wall reader to gain access to buildings or car parks and to trigger predefined actions within the system, such as arming an intruder alarm. This approach eliminates the need to carry a physical access card by delivering virtual keys to your device ahead of visits.

About Paxton10: Paxton10 is Paxton's secure access control and video management platform. It tracks where people are and enables buildings to respond accordingly, combining security with convenience for any building type. This extension supersedes the Paxton Key v1 app (discontinued November 30, 2022).

User Reviews

User reviews uniformly describe Paxton Key as unreliable and difficult to use. The dominant issues are inconsistent door access, with frequent failures that force restarts or repeated attempts. Apple Watch support is notably weak, with many reports of no credentials or non-functional watch app. The integration with Apple Wallet and prompts to use Apple Pay disrupt the entry flow. Background mode does not reliably work, forcing users to keep the app open. Credential management problems, such as lost registration codes and duplicate logins, compound the frustration.
Pros
Cons
  • Unreliable performance and frequent failures to grant access; needs repeated attempts or restarts.
  • Poor Apple Watch integration; watch app often doesn't work or provide credentials.
  • Apple Wallet/Apple Pay prompts trigger instead of allowing entry; confusing flow.
  • Background mode access is unreliable; often must keep the app in foreground or it won't work.
  • Account/credential issues; registration codes may be lost or require re-registering; login problems.

Pertenezco al grupo de reparación de 16 edificios en el dowtown de Miami lo cual necesito que esta app me deje agregar varias llaves electrónicas a la misma aplicación ya que la mayoría de los edificios en los que trabajo utilizan este sistema de clik para abrir las puertas mi recomendación es que actualicen la versión de la app para poder agregar varias llaves en esta muchas gracias

This app is terrible. It never works when you need it to. Have to close and re open several times to work.

The idea of making someone hold a phone (which costs over $1,000) out of a car window, just to access your place of living is ridiculous. Then having to make physical contact multiple times, just to get it to read, is infuriating. Can’t even see your personal gate code in the app. May be one of the worst implementations I’ve come across, and I lived through windows Vista.
