Security Notifications
How to enable email alerts for sign-ins to your account, and how to add a secondary notification email.
What security notifications do
When enabled, you get an email whenever:
- Someone signs into your Allison Voice account (including you — it's a record)
- Your account email is changed (both old and new addresses are notified)
Each sign-in notification includes the timestamp, IP address, and browser/device so you can quickly recognize whether it was you.
Turning notifications on or off
- Click your avatar in the top-right of the dashboard → Profile
- Find the Security notifications card
- Toggle Email me on sign-in
Notifications are on by default — we think a small amount of email is worth the security signal. Turn them off anytime.
Adding a secondary email
You can add a second email to also receive security notifications — useful if:
- You want a partner or assistant to get the same alerts
- You want a backup inbox in case your primary email is ever compromised
- You want alerts delivered to a personal address separate from your work email
The secondary email is additive — notifications always go to your primary email, and if you set a verified secondary, they go there too.
- On the Security notifications card, enter the email in the Also send to field
- Click Add — we send a verification link to that address
- Click the link in that email to confirm — the address shows a green Verified badge
Until you verify, the secondary address doesn't receive notifications. This is deliberate — it closes a subtle hijack path where someone with temporary account access could add their own email and start silently receiving your sign-in alerts.
Changing or removing the secondary email
- Change it by clicking Remove and then adding a new address. The verified status resets and we send a fresh verification link.
- Remove it with the Remove button — notifications stop going to that address immediately.
Any outstanding verify links for a removed or changed address stop working right away.
What the sign-in notification looks like
The email includes:
- A timestamp (Pacific Time)
- The IP address the sign-in came from
- A summary of the browser/device (user agent string)
- A link to review recent activity
- A link to contact support if it wasn't you
What if it wasn't me?
If you receive a sign-in notification you didn't trigger:
- Click review recent activity in the email → takes you to your profile page
- Contact support immediately — we can help you lock the account down
