Enable Two Factor Authentication

Two Factor Authentication adds an extra layer of security to protect access to your system. This makes it harder for potential intruders to gain access to your system, so your system and your property are even more secure. Whenever you sign into your system from a new or untrusted device, you will have to enter both your password and a code sent to your mobile phone. 

Enable or disable Two Factor Authentication

Two Factor Authentication can be enabled or disabled using the Alarm.com app and Alarm.com customer website.

Note: If Two Factor Authentication is enabled, all active sessions on the Alarm.com app and Alarm.com customer website will end. Two Factor Authentication will be required to log back in.
