Multi Factor Authentication

At Allegion, the security of your account and personal information is our top priority. To enhance protection against unauthorized access and ensure compliance with the latest security standards, we are introducing a mandatory multi-factor authentication (MFA) process for logging into Allegion apps. This additional layer of security will help safeguard your account while maintaining a seamless user experience.

Summary of the Changes:

1. Mandatory Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA):
   Starting in early to mid-October, all users will be required to enable MFA when logging into Allegion apps.

2. Available MFA Methods:
   You will need to select one of the following as your second authentication method:

   • Authenticator App (e.g., Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator): A secure app that generates one-time passcodes.

   • Phone Authentication: Receive a one-time passcode via text message or a voice call.

3. What You Need to Do:

   • During login, you will be prompted to set up MFA if you haven’t already.

   • Follow the on-screen instructions to choose and activate your preferred method.
