If you have two-factor authentication (2FA) set up on a specific device, such as a mobile phone, but you need it set up on a new device instead, please contact your employer.
If your employer integrates with Sage 50 Payroll, your company's admin user may have a reset option for you within the Personal settings of your profile. Once reset you can set up 2FA on your new device.
If they don't you may need to log into our Sage Account Management page to remove your device. Once removed you can set up 2FA again.
