At Tradify, protecting your business data is crucial. Take a look at how our Two-Step Security system benefits you.
Note: The Australian Tax Office requires Two-Step Security for all customers integrated with Xero. For more information on mandatory security for Xero integrations, read this article from Xero.
Two-Step Security means that we do a second check whenever someone tries to log in from a new and untrusted device.
We’ll send a security code to your Tradify account’s mobile phone. You'll use this code to enter into Tradify to confirm it's you or a trusted person logging in.
You’ll only need to do this once on each device you want to use, and you can revoke trust from devices at any time via the Settings section.
This means once you're set up, you can carry on as normal, knowing that you’ve got much better protection and control over who can access your data.
