If your Sage HR company uses Sage account logins, you can set up 2FA for your whole Sage HR company to enhance your security.

📎NOTE: 2FA is currently only available for Sage HR companies that have Sage accounts enabled.

Once you enable 2FA, also known as Multi-Factor authentication (MFA), this requires all users to set up 2FA for their login. Once set up, as well as entering their email address and password, they will have to enter a one-time 6-digit code to log in to Sage HR.

  1. Click on your name on the top right, then click Settings.

  2. On the settings menu click Security, then click Sage accounts and two-factor authentication.

  3. Under Manage two-factor authentication, click Enable two-factor authentication.

    Enable two-factor authentication.

    📎NOTE: If you've already enabled 2FA, and just need to set 2FA for other employees, click Select employees.

  4. You can choose to require all employees to set up and use 2FA, or specific employees.

    If you want it to be specific employees, you can filter and select the employees you want to use 2FA.

  5. Click Save.

The next time the employee logs in, they're prompted to set up 2FA, which they can then use.

📎NOTE: Deselecting an employee for 2FA will only remove the prompt for the employee to set up 2FA when they log in if they don't already have it set up. If the employee has already set up 2FA for their login, they will still be prompted to use 2FA when logging in.
