## Enabling Support PIN

The Client Support PIN is a unique code used to securely verify your client's identity when they contact customer support. [You can enable or disable](/using-upmind/service-desk/how-to-enable-a-support-pin) this feature under Settings -> Service Desk.

You can also set the expiration interval, which will allow the system to automatically generate a new PIN once the current one expires.
