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.

Doesn’t work

Don’t know what to say, it doesn’t work.

Nightmare

Tried to use code does not worked and locked me out of zero

Easy to use, but is a separate Authenticator needed?

Given Authenticator Apps are already available, that work across devices, linked to device authentication, does adding this dedicated app actually increase security.
It is unclear if I am able (and should actually) installing this on my other devices. I am unsure if this is even supported or how to go about this.
If I lose the one device controlling 2FA, how do I recover, given MFA does not seem to be supported

Pointless app

This is a pointless app with Face ID and text verify but xero makes you download it.

TERRIBLE APP

Utterly useless app. Used to verify and it doesn’t even do its job. Coded by chimps. Fix it

Frustrating, fiddly app

I remember it was really annoying to set up. Like getting caught in a loop with no instructions.
Then I stopped using Xero and deleted this app. Which made it SO MUCH WORSE when I started using Xero it again.
Considering people swap between devices and the Xero platform looks/functions different the makers need clear and detailed instructions.

Awful

Can’t get in as no access to old email, but also can’t contact anyone to set up a new email address and there’s no contact support.

Worst app ever

Funny how when you need to cancel your membership you need to jump trough all these hurdles like installing this POS.

garbage

forced download waste of time

Not even working

The app can’t even scan the QR code page, the screen inside the column is black. And yes I did turn the camera on. Still black.

Doesn’t work

Codes are never accepted. So I deleted and reinstalled in the hope that would fix the problem. Now I can’t set up. Unable to take payments from customers because of this rubbish platform. Buyers remorse big time!

This is Stupid!!

How can one log in to set up MFA keys when you need MFA to log in?!?!?!

App loops and you cannot restart the process

I down-loaded app and get a code but I get an Something went wrong message I had to click on continuing without notifications to get 6 digit input field

Stops working every few months

Worked fine at first, then it just stopped delivering the push notifications to let me sign in. Uninstalled and reinstalled and it worked again for a couple months. And repeat. And again. And yes I’m updating my apps and I’m not on an ancient phone.

Unusable app

Constantly fails 👎
