Share ADT Pulse 2FA with your team — without screenshots.

Most teams sharing ADT Pulse access do it badly: a screenshot in Slack, a personal phone in someone's drawer, a 1Password note that drifts out of date. Here's the right way.

The setup

Three minutes from sign-up to first ADT Pulse code.

  1. 01Sign up for Kaito. Free 14-day trial, no credit card. You'll set up MFA on your own account before adding any tokens.
  2. 02Add the ADT Pulse 2FA seed. In Kaito, go to Tokens → New and either scan the ADT Pulse 2FA QR code or paste the secret. Kaito auto-resolves the ADT Pulse icon.
  3. 03Choose who can see the code. Create a group (e.g. adt pulse-admins), add the relevant teammates, and grant the group code-only permission on the token.
  4. 04Provision a Kaito SMS number. Since ADT Pulse only supports SMS 2FA, point your account's phone-on-file at a Kaito-provisioned number. Inbound codes stream in real time to everyone in the group.
  5. 05Generate the first code. Anyone in the group opens the token in Kaito and sees the current 6-digit code with a 30-second countdown ring. The view is logged immediately to the audit log.
Why this is better

The ADT Pulse screenshot in Slack vs. Kaito.

Screenshot in Slack
  • • Searchable by everyone in the workspace
  • • Replicated to every device anyone has logged Slack in on
  • • Stays in DM history when teammates leave
  • • No record of who used it when
  • • Encodes the seed itself, valid forever
ADT Pulse via Kaito
  • • Seed encrypted at rest, never sent to clients
  • • Group-permissioned: only authorized teammates see the code
  • • Auto-revoked when someone leaves the group
  • • Every code view logged with user, IP, time
  • • One-click rotation when needed

Sharing tolerated for ADT Pulse

ADT Pulse's terms on account sharing are unclear or grey-area. Many teams share access in practice; doing so via Kaito gives you a clean audit trail if it ever becomes a question.

Stop pasting ADT Pulse codes in Slack.
