AU Payroll - Super Payment Authorisation via Xero Verify
I need to be able to approve super when I am travelling and do not have access to text messages. It is most inflexible that there is only one method for doing this! Can the Xero Verify App not be used for auto super approvals too? Then I only need wifi.
Or, can text be received to whatsapp instead?

Totally agree - I'm a small practice and it's myself working part-time and have a full time employee in the Philippines. It would be extremely beneficial for my employee to be a super authoriser, but they can't as they don't have an AU mobile number.
Other verification options to consider - email code, authenticator app. -

I agree. The approval process is an issue when the approver is on leave or travelling. Given that from 1 July 2026 super payments will need to be processed with each pay run, there needs to be an easier way of approving the super payments. If Xero allowed more than one super approver on the account, this would solve the problem.

Crazy that Xero has a 2FA app, but uses AUS only text message for Super Approval. I travel reguarly and need to approve staff Super. Happen to be away for end of Q3 and now may not approve in time. A fail by Xero at the moment!
