Changes to multi-factor authentication
Xero are the custodians of your accounting data and want to do all they can to protect the information held in your account.
One of the ways Xero does this is through multi-factor authentication (MFA), a process designed to secure how you log in to Xero and verify it’s really you. Currently, you can skip authentication for 30 days when signing into Xero via MFA (such as through the Xero Verify, Google Authenticator or Authy apps), which remembers the unique device you’ve logged in with.
An upcoming Australian Tax Office (ATO) update to MFA regulations means that anyone from early October who accesses an Australian organisation globally, needs to re-authenticate their trusted device every 24 hours when logging in to Xero.
