# Allow sign-in only from chosen countries

To limit your account to certain countries, open **Settings › Security › Security** and pick them under **Allowed Country(s) from which this account is accessible**. Click **Update** and confirm with the verification code. A sign-in from any other country is then refused, even with the right password. Choose **ANYWHERE** to remove the limit.

## How to allow sign-in only from chosen countries

1. Click your profile picture, choose **Settings**, open **Security** and then the **Security** tab.
2. Under **Allowed Country(s) from which this account is accessible**, pick one or more countries.
3. Click **Update** and enter the verification code.
4. To allow every country again, choose **ANYWHERE**.

## When to use it

> Deepa, an executive at acme.in, works in India and visits Dubai every quarter. She allows India and the United Arab Emirates, so a sign-in attempt from anywhere else is refused.

## Good to know

- Your domain may already have a list of allowed countries set by your administrator.
- There is no code or other way past the limit while you are abroad, so update the list before you travel.
- If you are refused while travelling, ask your administrator to update the list.

## Common questions

**I am travelling abroad. What should I do?**

Before you leave, add the country you are visiting, or choose **ANYWHERE** for the trip. Remove it again when you return.

**Will I know if someone tries from another country?**

XgenPlus can mail you a suspicious-login alert after a sign-in is refused. It sends at most one such alert a day.
