Missing key code

My existing 3rd generation learning thermostat has no key code on the base and I cant find an "Account" setting under settings. How can I get the key please to connect with my Android phone app?

The QR code and entry key are not printed physically on the thermostat for that thermostat model.

  1. If you haven’t already, download the Nest app on a phone or tablet.
  2. On the Nest app home screen, tap the Settings cog.
  3. Tap Add product. The app will switch to a camera view to scan the thermostat’s QR code.
  4. On the thermostat, press it to open the quick view menu and tap the Settings cog.
  5. Turn the ring to select Nest app and press to open it.
  6. Select QR code. Your thermostat will show you a unique QR code to scan with the app. If it doesn't, tap Continue without scanning in the app and select Get entry key on your thermostat instead.
  7. Follow the remaining steps in the Nest app.
