The way you sign in to your account is changing!

[Ana_AGL]

To help keep your account even safer, we’ve implemented mandatory two-factor authentication (2FA) to my account and app from December 2025.  

What is two-factor authentication (2FA)? 

2FA adds an extra layer of security to your account by asking you to enter your password plus a unique verification code, before you access your online account. This helps us make sure it’s really you signing in. 

 What you need to do? 

Check that your mobile number is up to date in My Account or the AGL App, so that you’re ready for when we enable 2FA. 

Get started with 2FA today 

You don’t have to wait to better protect your account. Follow the steps below to set up 2FA early. 

1.     Go to your Settings in My Account or the AGL app 

2.     Select Profile and Security 

3.     Under Two factor authentication, select activate

Had to do this for about the past week or so, with no usual options to just login using my password.

Not a big fan of the extra steps to get into the data daily etc.

At least let users login for more than a half hour or hour, or whatever it is now.

You should be able to log in, and unless you close the app or webpage, it should stay logged in permanently, or at the very least for say 24 hours.

I've always noticed the user overview / usage pages log you off very fast, the neighbourhood page allows login for perhaps a few hours.
