PSA: My smart lock let a repair guy in without my okay last month

I have a Yale Assure lock that I set to give a one time code to my building's maintenance team for a scheduled fix. They sent a different person who used the old code from a job six months ago, and it still worked. I had to call the company and ask why codes don't expire after use, and they said it's a 'feature' for convenience. Isn't the whole point of these things to control access?

That "feature for convenience" sounds more like a bug that lets strangers in...

Wait, they said the default code for those smart locks was just 1-2-3-4? That's like leaving your house key under the welcome mat.
