Description

At Xero, protecting your data is fundamental to everything we do. Just one easily guessed password can stop your business in its tracks. So Xero has put an extra deadbolt on the door to help keep your data secure.

This is why Xero uses MFA to secure logins. It significantly reduces the risk of someone gaining access to your account, even if they’ve managed to obtain your email and password through a phishing attack or malware.

The Xero Verify app is simple to use. You can receive push notifications for fast authentication, instead of having to open the app and enter a code into Xero when you login. Simply accept the notification on your device’s home screen - it’s that easy.

Features:
* Sign into your Xero account using push notifications on your device (if enabled).
* Generate six digit verification codes, even if you don’t have a network or mobile connection.
* Use Xero Verify to authenticate your Xero account (it can’t be used on other products outside Xero)
* Easy set up using QR code

Permission notice:
Camera: Needed to add accounts using QR codes
Push notifications: Accept to receive push notifications

Just another intrusive data collecting app

Supposedly in our security interests, but if you read there privacy statements the use of the app allows them to collect data that they can share to third parties that enables those parties to market, promote, and sell goods and services. As well regulators law enforcement etc. Sounds really good.... considering that they now know all your bank account details, customer s, suppliers, etc. good luck
Edit: if Xero can confirm they don’t sell my data to third parties, then they need to change there written privacy policy so that it reflects that position. Let me know when that happens.

Developer Response ,

Thanks for leaving a review and updating your review with a response. Our position hasn't changed and we will not provide your data to any MFA provider. The purpose of the MFA authentication app is solely to generate security codes for signing into Xero. Again, please update your review with your ticket support #, so we can reach you and alleviate your concerns.

I hate Authenticators completely

I would really like the person who inflicted this upon is to be strapped to a bed of fast growing bamboo and tortured as it grows through their depraved bodies.
I suspect that Authenticator apps and passwords with capital letters and symbols will shortly take over as the leading cause of stress induced death in western society. I have no evidence ( like most internet commentators $ but it feels like these things are killing me slowly and painfully.
Edit : Xero responded very nicely, I still hate Authenticator as we seem to get logged out every few minutes. I understand it, still hate it
Further edit: XeroHave improved the way this works, I understand the need for it now and admit I was wrong. It’s actually not too inconvenient and saves our data.
My statement about the hackers needing to be tortured still stands.

Developer Response ,

Thanks for updating your review Paul. We're so pleased all is well now, other than the hackers! We want to give you 5 stars for the colourful review.

Suggestion for improvement

Really dislike being forced to use this process however it’s relatively easy on iOS once set up. One thing for improvement: logging in on a mobile device web browser, after confirming the verify message we should be taken back to the web browser, which is now logged in, not to xero verify. Unnecessary extra step to click back to your browser. Let’s make the process as few steps as possible, esp for irritable folk like me who whinge on about how we’re being forced to so this. Thanks.

Developer Response ,

Thanks for leaving a review and your suggestion, we'll pass that onto our product managers.
