Just wondering what is happening with Arlo users community accounts. While attempting login, I was forced to reset my password, it would not let me login with my current password. After resetting it, I was greeted with an email from Arlo support, welcoming me as a new community member.

Email starts with: "Sandbox: Welcome to Arlo...…...and Hello UAT, thank you for creating your Arlo account".

I find this a little strange especially since there never was a notice from Arlo about any changes coming to the community/support areas.

Anyone else seen this?

Paul_FCCL,

 

This particular email was sent out in error and can be ignored. I've not heard anyone express that they were forced to change their password due to this however, please let me know if you experience any other strange behavior and I will consult the IT team.

JamesC:

Password reset was not a result of the “welcome email”, it was forced when I tried login in to my Arlo community account. I had been using a password for a very long time (over four years), when password was no longer accepted and had to reset it, strangely even in my cameras account.

Then the email came, basically welcoming me as a new user to Arlo.

Pretty weird........
