FAQ

Where do I download the Alarm.com app?

Whether you use iOS or Android, downloading and using the app takes just a few steps. Click below to find and download the appropriate app for your mobile device.

How can I log into my Alarm.com acccount?

If you forgot your password or have been locked out of your account:

  • Go to Login Help
  • Enter your login (username) in the “Forgot your password?” section.
  • Click “Submit.”

A password reset link will be sent to the primary email address for that login. It will require you to verify your security question before you can reset your password.

If you do not receive a password reset email, the login name may be incorrect. You can request a login name reminder by following these steps:

  • Go to the Login Help page
  • Enter your email address in the “Forgot your username?” section.
  • Click “Submit.”

This will send a login (username) reminder to your email address. You can then use that login name to request a password reset with the above steps. If you still can not find the password reset email or login (username) reminder email, see Can you help me find the password reset or login (username) reminder email?

Note: The password reset link will expire after 24 hours. If the password reset link does not work when using a mobile device, we recommend trying the link using a computer.
