Log in using the other method, go to Settings, Disable the Two-Step Authentication and then you can start all over again by installing the app on your new phone because it then gives you the barcode you need. I can’t believe it was so simple when I’d been complaining about it for so long.
That link doesn’t seem to work, do you have an alternative? I am having the same problem. I cant regenerate the QR code to add to my new phone. Help please I have a new phone with the same authenticator app, cant find out how to get a new barcode to access xero.
Help tells me to disable 2 set authentication but does not tell me how to do that. Help also tells me 2 step authentication is mandatory for my user profile. Change to new device. Login with usual email, it will then generate new barcode Hi can anyone help as I have similar problem with the above. I can get in to the xero account but I cannot change or disable my authy code as I think my dyslexic spelling cannot get the correct answer. I am so frustrated with this authenticator process.. Ive changed phone and I cant get it to work anymore, grrrrr.
You have to log in using your old phone to verify. Once in, click on top right button to go to your o account. Click Disable 2-setp authentication. Log out. When you go to log back in again you will have the option to set up two-step authentication again, using your new phone.
Problem is that the main user does not have the old phone any more so has been unable to log in for some time. What happens then? The difficulty is that I don’t have my old phone anymore as it died.
That is why I have a new phone. So I can’t use the old one to log in What do I do now? I have this same issue.
If anyone is able to help that would be great. I despise the 2 step authentication and if there was an option to remove it altogether I would. Huge issue. I have been going round in circles all day trying to sort this out for two employees with new phones.
Caryn Rance. When you say turn it of. What do I need to turn off please.
