How To Use Multi-factor Authentication In Room Alert Account & Room Alert Manager

You may choose to enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) for your user profile in Room Alert Account and/or Room Alert Manager.

  • When MFA is enabled, you’ll be required to enter a code, along with your regular username and password, each time* you log in.
    * Room Alert Account includes a feature to remember trusted devices, allowing users to bypass this step for 30 days.
  • In order to retrieve the code, you will need to use a third-party authentication app, such as Google Authenticator.

Select the tabs below for steps to enable multi-factor authentication:
