Device Passcode in App Automation on Real Devices

To enable it for your organization, please contact us via 24×7 chat support or you can also drop a mail to support@lambdatest.com.

For certain use cases, you may need to perform tests on devices that are passcode-protected. Apps handling sensitive data (for example, banking apps, enterprise apps, or apps distributed through MDM) often enforce device passcodes for enhanced security.

LambdaTest’s Device Passcode in Automation enables you to run such automated tests seamlessly on real devices.

Use Cases

Validate apps requiring a system passcode prompt before login or secure workflows.
Ensure authentication flows function correctly when the device is protected by a passcode.
Automate enterprise test cases where passcodes are enforced by MDM policies.

note

Passcode entry screens are not visible in the stream for security reasons — you may see a blank screen briefly during automation.
Enabling passcode for iOS Devices may increase the setup time of your test by 25–30 seconds compared to regular sessions.
