Multi-factor authentication and password reset

July 2023

Archive: this issue has been resolved.

What are the changes?

We will soon be introducing optional Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) to Staffology Payroll. MFA is an additional layer of security that requires you to provide two or more authentication factors to verify your identity when logging in, making it more difficult for unauthorized individuals to access your account.

What are the benefits of these changes? 

  • Adds extra layers of security to your user accounts.

  • Secures remote working.

  • Supports you to meet regulatory compliance & cyber insurance requirements.

  • Promotes good password hygiene.
