SentriLock enabling important security feature for the SentriKey® app in late June 2023
​
Beginning in late June, if users of the SentriKey® mobile app input an invalid PIN more than three times they will be temporarily locked out of their account for a few minutes.
Users will be directed to reset their PIN in the app or call SentriLock support for assistance at 513-618-5800.
To avoid invalid PIN lockouts, we recommend that users enable biometrics (Touch ID or Face ID) in the SentriKey® mobile app. Here's how...
-
Open your SentriKey app and tap the MENU icon>
-
Tap My Settings>
-
Tap the word OFF next to Touch ID>
-
On new screen tap Enable Touch ID link. You’re all set up & won't need a PIN # to open lockboxes.
If you prefer written steps on how to do Enable Touch ID, please see our mobile phone guide.
You can reset your PIN on the sentrilock.com website using your security questions by
Log into Sentrilock website>Open your Profile icon>Choose My Settings>Open Account Settings on Left column>Complete pop-up screen to answer your security questions.
