The issue with this code is that i want to be able to enter the # or * key on the keypad itself to reset or evaluate the password, not have to enter it on the serial monitor to do the function.

Simply use the character read from the keypad (key), instead of that from serial input (input), as input to switch .. case.

Why are you reading serial input?

FYIif (key);
Doesn't do anything
