With every login on a user’s Ring account, a user receives a one -time, six- digit code to verify a user’s login attempt. You will need to enter that code before Ring will allow access to a user’s Ring account. The same goes for any Shared Users that you have on a user’s account. You can choose to receive this one- time passcode via the email address you have listed on a user’s Ring account or on a user’s phone as a text message (SMS). Requiring this code will help ensure that the person trying to log into a user’s account is you. This mandatory second layer of verification will begin rolling out to users today. 24.2.3 Know When Someone Logs Into A User’s Account Knowing when someone logs into a user’s ac count can be helpful in showing suspicious logins.

Ring will continue to send these login noti fications so you can take immediate steps to protect a user’s account if you are not the one who logged in. 24.2.4 New Tools To Manage Third-Party Service Providers Ring states that it does not sell a user’s personal information to anyone, though they occasiona lly collaborate with third-party service providers that specialize in delivering different benefits, such as identifying and solving a user’s problems faster when you contact Ring Community Support, providing you with personalized Ring offers and discounts , and communicating important alerts about a user’s devices, like when a user’s battery is low.
