Terrible

Literally the downfall of humanity. Bought reviews to make it seem like people actually want this to exist.

Horrible software and Support

The multi factor authentication is the absolute worst I’ve ever experienced and as a tech guy I deal with a lot of software every day. Every month, we have to reset the bank fees and go through the process of logging in over and over again and downloading statements when the bank refuses to work.
The software doesn’t even have a proper shipping layout for Shipping fields. We have to. Use some creative manipulation to get the system to work.

Pointless

Just another wall in the way of progress

Doesn’t work

Push notifications do not work. After half a dozen attempts to resend and checking all my app settings I gave up used used the typed in the code instead.
This option is also frustrating and non intuitive.

RUN FOR THE HILLS

I have canceled my Xero subscription multiple times, yet I continue to be charged. Every attempt to resolve this issue turns into a dead end because I’m blocked from accessing my own account due to their authentication system. Xero claims you can use third-party authenticator apps like Duo, but in practice, it repeatedly throws errors and prevents login. At that point, it’s hard not to question whether this is by design—forcing users into their proprietary authentication setup just to regain account access.

The result is a ridiculous loop: you can’t log in without jumping through unnecessary hoops, and you can’t cancel effectively without logging in—yet billing continues uninterrupted. That’s not just frustrating, it raises serious concerns about unauthorized recurring charges and basic account access rights.
For a company handling financials and payroll, this level of friction is unacceptable. Strongly recommend looking into alternatives like ADP if you value reliability, transparency, and actually being able to control your own account.

FAQ

What does the Xero Verify app do?

The Xero Verify app is an official authentication tool developed by Xero Ltd. It enhances the security of your Xero account by implementing multi-factor authentication (MFA). This means it adds an extra layer of protection beyond just your password, significantly reducing the risk of unauthorized access.

How does Xero Verify improve security?

It uses multi-factor authentication to secure your logins. This is crucial because even if someone obtains your email and password through phishing or malware, they still won't be able to access your account without the verification provided by the app. This helps prevent your business data from being compromised.

Is Xero Verify free to use?

Yes, the Xero Verify app is completely free to use. Xero Ltd. does not charge any fees for its use. It is provided as a security feature to protect your Xero account and business data.

Can I use Xero Verify for accounts other than Xero?

No, the Xero Verify app is specifically designed to authenticate your Xero account only. It cannot be used for logging into or verifying other products or services outside of the Xero ecosystem.

What are the key features of Xero Verify?

Key features include the ability to sign into your Xero account using push notifications for quick authentication (if enabled), and the generation of six-digit verification codes that work even without a network or mobile connection. Setup is also made easy using a QR code.
