secure way to log into IT services.

It confirms your identity by combining multiple independent

factors. These factors can be something
you know: Username + Password
– you have: Smartphone or Laptop
– you are: Fingerprint or Face Recognition

“You might already know MFA from

private services like PayPal, your
E-Mail or Bank Account”

INTRODUCING AHOI

Ahoi is an enhanced way of authentication protecting

you from cyber attacks

Why “Ahoi”?
 Ahoi is a greeting known from seamanship - when you log
into your Henkel Apps, we welcome you with an “Ahoi”!
 Ahoi is also used as a confirmation - We ensure it's secure to
log in and verify the person attempting to gain access is
actually you.
You will recognize Ahoi when logging in
 by the logo
 by the website address (ahoi.henkel.com)

“We want you to remember Ahoi as a secure place

to enter your password and authenticate.”
