New SentriLock Security Feature

SentriLock is introducing an important security feature for the SentriKey® mobile app in late June. This change will provide a higher level of protection against unauthorized access to your mobile app and lockboxes.


After three unsuccessful attempts to login with their PIN, a user will now be temporarily locked out of their account. Agents who are locked out must call SentriLock at 1-877-736-8745 for onsite assistance. To prevent being locked out, we recommend enabling biometrics on your smartphone. Click here for a short tutorial on how to set up your Face ID in the SentriKey app.

 

If you’ve forgotten your PIN, you can reset it through the SentriKey app or by contacting SentriLock support.
