6. Access your Arlo account

Once you set up your Arlo account, you can access it by using the Arlo app on a smartphone

or tablet, or from a computer using a web browser. If you’re using a computer, enter https://

my.arlo.com/#/login in the address bar of the browser.

Two-step verification

Two-step verication helps protect your Arlo account by adding another step of

authentication when you log in. Arlo will verify your identity any time you sign in with a new

device. You can have up to ve dierent trusted devices, phone numbers, or email addresses

to verify your Arlo account login.

All Arlo users must have two-step verication enabled to access their account. This is to

protect your data and add an extra layer of security to your Arlo account.

Note: Before you set up two-step verication, make sure that you can log in to the email

address associated with your Arlo account. Your account email is always used as a backup

option to log in to your account.

How two-step verifcation works

To log in with two-step verication, you must rst correctly enter your email address and

password. Aer entering your email address and password, you must verify your identity with

a security code (delivered by SMS text message or email) or conrmation from an already

trusted device. Requiring two steps helps prevent an unwanted login, even if someone has

your Arlo account password.

• Trusted device push notications. You can trust a device on your account so that you

never have to verify your login with a push notication or text message when you log in on

the trusted device. When a non-trusted device attempts to log in to your Arlo account, Arlo

sends a push notication to your trusted (and currently logged in) iOS or Android device.

Tap the push notication on your trusted device to approve or deny the log in. This is the

simplest and most secure option to get started with two-step verication.

• SMS text message. When someone attempts to log in to your Arlo account from a new

device, Arlo sends a text message to the phone number that you veried for two-step

verication. Enter the security code from the text message to complete the log in.
