We recommend the Xero Verify authenticator app. After installing the authenticator app, you can login to Xero and change the device linked to your Xero account. Use a backup method to authenticate, if you don’t have access to your current authentication device. If you lose your phone, or the device which has your authenticator app on it, we recommend you change your Xero login password before setting up MFA on your new device. Find out how to install an authenticator app on your new device and set it up with your Xero account.

You can change the app you use to authenticate yourself when you log in to Xero. We recommend Xero Verify for quick and easy authentication using push notifications. To use Xero Verify, your device’s operating system needs to be iOS Click your initials or profile image, then select Account. If you’re switching from Google Authenticator to Xero Verify, our video shows you what to do.

You can change your backup email address to another address. It needs to be different to the one you use to log in to Xero. When you set up MFA, Xero asked you to choose an authentication backup method. You can change your backup method at any time.

You need to turn off MFA, then set it up again and choose a different backup method. Look at all these reviews. Get real. How about you take the burden of security OFF of the consumer and secure your freaking assets? Do your job. But not the 2FA burden and burden of risk to my privacy. This is ridiculous. Do better Xero. Thanks for leaving a review. This is more about enabling MFA as opposed to the functionality of the app.

The app has 2 functions, to send you push notifications as well as generate 6 digit codes in case you are not in a wifi enabled area. If you are receiving push notifications which is the fastest way to login to Xero , then the app is working as expected.

The customer support instructions say to push the “get in touch” button which doesn’t actually exist I am stuck in a loop and can’t contact them. This authenticator should probably be an optional feature. Heck, some people might pay extra for that.

I want to cancel my subscription at this point. I have TFA enabled on half a dozen other sites and apps i use, and none of these require a secondary app to get the job done, or a backup email address. Your answers can only contain letters or numbers, and not any symbols or special characters. What’s next? You’re all set to use MFA on your new device. Was this page helpful?
