1. A system for providing secure passcode-triggered wireless communication pairing of a mobile device with an electronic lock, the system comprising:
at least one processor;
a memory communicatively connected to the at least one processor, the memory storing instructions which, when executed, cause the system to:
provide, on a first mobile device, a user interface;
receive, via the user interface, a selection to allow a guest user to pair a second mobile device with the electronic lock;
receive, via the user interface, contact information associated with the guest user;
generate an invitation link associated with the electronic lock;
send a message including the invitation link to the second mobile device using the contact information associated with the guest user, wherein the invitation link, when selected, allows the second mobile device to:
install an application to operate on the second mobile device;
use the application to create a guest user account associated with the electronic lock; and
use the application to display a pairing passcode associated with the electronic lock that, when entered using a keypad of the electronic lock, initiates a wireless communication pairing mode that enables the electronic lock to pair with the second mobile device when the second mobile device is within wireless communication range of the electronic lock.
