Quotes of the week

Hear from some of the most impactful users to drive changes

The concept is great but when I lost my phone I couldn’t get into my Xero account for 10 days. Massive pain and disruption to my business.
emp43d
Xero was absolutely fine until I was forced into setting up MFA. I don't have work devices, so now need this on my personal phone. Please remove the need for this, it's not difficult to see what your customers want!
Vivien Hamilton
I understand the need for authentication but don’t see why it has to be compulsory, nor why it requires an app on a phone. I like the ease of access of Xero at any time but often don’t carry a phone on me.
