Inpasseringskod

Inpasseringskod is a term used in Sweden to refer to an access code that grants entry to a restricted area, such as a door, hallway, or entire building. The code is typically a numeric sequence, but may also include letters, and is commonly four to eight characters long. In some contexts, inpasseringskod is interchangeable with passcode or entry code.

Common usage includes residential buildings with shared entrances, office complexes, hotels, and gated communities. Codes are usually distributed by property management or landlords, and can be provided to residents, guests, or service personnel. Some buildings require residents to change their codes periodically or when a lease ends.

Security considerations: because a single code can grant access to multiple people, codes should be kept confidential and updated when occupants change. Modern systems increasingly supplement codes with additional factors, such as proximity cards, mobile apps, or time-limited codes for temporary visitors.

In Swedish property management, inpasseringskod is part of a broader access-control system, which may also include door intercoms, alarm systems, and video surveillance. The term may be used interchangeably with portkod or tillgångskod in certain contexts, though these terms can have regional variations.
