Every employer account is protected by two-step verification and an automatic lockout after repeated failed sign-ins.

Before you start. You have an authenticator app such as Google or Microsoft Authenticator.

Step by step

  1. 01

    Two-step verification is on

    Everyone signing in to an employer account confirms a six-digit code from their authenticator app. The Settings overview shows it is on.

  2. 02

    Read the set-up guide

    The employer guide walks through setting up Google or Microsoft Authenticator, and what to do with a new phone.

  3. 03

    Know the lockout rules

    Five wrong passwords in 15 minutes blocks sign-in for 15 minutes. Three blocks in a day suspends the login until someone releases it.

  4. 04

    Unlock a colleague

    Owners and HR managers see Unlock sign-in next to a locked colleague in Team and roles, and on the staff profile under app access.

You are all set

Your team signs in with a code, and a locked colleague can be released in seconds.
