When you're setting up your Arlo security system, you'll want to add a trusted device to guarantee seamless and secure access. It's a straightforward process: just log into your Arlo account, head to your Account Settings, and select 'Manage Devices.' From there, you can add a new device—just follow the prompts to authenticate it.
However, the key to maintaining security isn't just in adding devices; it's also in knowing how to manage them effectively.
What happens if a device is lost or stolen, or if you suspect unauthorized access? Let's explore how to handle these scenarios, guaranteeing your system remains secure.
Signing Into Your Arlo Account
To sign into your Arlo account, open the Arlo app or visit the website and enter your credentials. Once you've accessed your account, navigate to the Account Profile and select the Security section. Here, you'll find the option for Two-Step Verification, a critical feature to enhance the security of your account.
By enabling this, you add an extra layer of protection, making it tougher for unauthorized users to gain access. To further secure your account, you can choose to add a new trusted device. This process involves verifying the device through a confirmation method provided during setup.
Follow the on-screen instructions carefully to make certain the device is correctly linked and trusted for future logins.
Accessing Account Settings
To initiate the process of adding a trusted device to your Arlo account, you'll first need to navigate the account dashboard in the Arlo Secure app.
Here, you can modify your security preferences by accessing the Two-Step Verification section within the Account Profile and Security settings.
This area allows you to explore and manage device management options effectively, ensuring enhanced security and streamlined access.
Navigate Account Dashboard
Once you've logged into your Arlo account via the app or website, navigate to the Account Settings or Profile section in the dashboard interface to access your account settings.
Here, you'll focus on heightening your security measures. To add a trusted device, explore the Security settings or the Two-Step Verification area. This section is important for managing trusted devices securely.
Look for the option within these settings labeled 'Add Trusted Device'. Selecting this will initiate the process, and you must follow the on-screen instructions carefully. Each step is designed to safeguard your account's integrity while simplifying the addition of new devices.
Modify Security Preferences
After adding a trusted device, you'll want to adjust your security preferences to further enhance account protection. Begin by accessing your account settings in the Arlo app or via the website. Navigate to the Security or Two-Step Verification section.
Here, you can verify and authorize a new device. It's important to make sure the device is correctly listed in your list of trusted devices, confirming secure access. When you add a trusted device, always double-check that all settings align with your security needs.
This meticulous approach prevents unauthorized access and fortifies your Arlo account against potential security breaches. Regularly updating these settings is key to maintaining robust protection.
Explore Device Management
Accessing your Arlo account settings allows you to manage and authenticate up to five trusted devices, enhancing your system's security.
To add a trusted device, navigate to the Two-Step Verification section within your profile settings. Here, you'll find the option to 'Add Trusted Device.' This step is important for strengthening the security of your account, as it limits access to authenticated devices only.
By managing trusted devices for two-step verification, you not only enhance the security but also make sure that any access to your account is legitimately authorized.
It's vital to regularly review and update your list of trusted devices to keep your Arlo system secure and your peace of mind intact.

Once logged in, check for push notifications to confirm the login process. It's important to have push notifications enabled on your Android or iOS device, ensuring a seamless verification experience.
If you don't receive a notification, consider setting your trusted device as the primary verification method, which simplifies future accesses. This adjustment allows for quicker and more secure connections.
Should push notifications fail, you'll need to try a different verification method or troubleshoot your device's notification settings. Ensuring these elements are correctly configured is essential for maintaining the security and functionality of your trusted device setup.
