This month… Xero multi-factor authentication (MFA).

Cyber-attacks have increased dramatically since the start of the pandemic.

The results of a cyber-attack can be devastating, in order to protect its users even further Xero will be introducing a mandatory multi-factor authentication (MFA).

This added security will be brought in from early April (2021), with users invited to opt into MFA and use an authentication app, such as Xero Verify.

Xero Verify will send out push notifications to ensure it is the user trying to log in, therefore preventing anyone else trying to access your account.

Xero will contact all users in early April.
