Why do I receive a "We Noticed a New Login" email?

Introduction

If you receive a "We Noticed a New Login" email or notification, it may indicate that a new device has logged in to your TP-Link account. Here are possible reasons:

• You logged in using a new device with the same TP-Link ID.
• Your TP-Link ID was shared with others (e.g., family or friends), and they logged in from a different device.

To secure your account and address potential unauthorized access, follow the troubleshooting in this article.

Requirement

Download Tapo/Kasa/Deco/Tether/Aginet app from the Google Play Store or the App Store.

Troubleshooting

Step 1: Confirm Login Activity and change Your Account Password

It is recommended that you check whether the account was logged in on your trusted devices. If not, please change the login password as soon as possible. Here is guidance for you to change your account password: https://community.tp-link.com/en/forgetpw

• Kasa app: Open Kasa App > Me>Tap account > Log in security >Two-Factor Authentication.
• Deco app: Open Deco App > Tap hamburger button on the top left Tap account > Log in security>Two-Factor Authentication.

• Aginet app: Open Aginet App > Tap hamburger button on the top left > Tap View Account > Log in security >Two-Step Verification.

Step 3: Remove untrusted devices under 2FA

If you’ve already enabled 2FA, please review your trusted devices list and remove any unknown entries to ensure your account is not accessed from unauthorized devices.
