BoxMate Live - Access & Accounts

This guide covers how to log into BoxMate Live using one-time passcodes, the difference between facility and personal access, and how to create a facility account.

Written by Costa Bontioti

📝 Overview

BoxMate Live now uses a faster one-time passcode system for logging in, replacing the previous method of entering admin account credentials directly.

You can generate a login code from your admin settings and use it on the Live login screen. There are two access types available, facility access and personal access, and you can also create a dedicated facility account that has no admin permissions.


🔢 Generating a Login Code

To generate a one-time login code for BoxMate Live, navigate to Account Settings from the sidebar in your admin site, then select the Live tab.

You will see two cards, each with a Get Login Code button. Click this to generate a short-lived passcode which you then enter on the Live login screen.

Click the arrow to learn about the two access types

Facility Access - Logs in as the account purely for BoxMate Live, with no admin access to any other part of the platform. This is the recommended option for most use cases.

Personal Login - Logs in as your individual administrator account. Use this if you are a PT with clients and need to display workouts linked to your personal account.

🔔 In most cases, facility access is sufficient. Personal access is only required if you need to display workouts tied to your individual admin account (e.g. PT clients).


🛠️ Creating a Facility Account

You can create a standalone facility access account that has no admin permissions and can only be used to access BoxMate Live. This account cannot log into the full admin application.

Click the arrow to view the steps for creating a facility account

  1. Navigate to Account ➜ Settings ➜ Live from the sidebar in your admin site.

  2. In the left card, click Create Account. This creates a new administrator with a BoxMate email address that cannot be used to log into the admin application.


  3. Once the account is created, generate a login code from the same page and use it to log into Live.
