    Thanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you.


    Now it's up to the community to get behind and support this idea. Make sure you share it with any colleagues that this could benefit, so they can add their vote too!


    In the meantime, you might like to use Xero's own authenticator app, Xero Verify, which does support push notifications when you log in.

    Thanks for your feedback on Single Sign-On(SSO). We last updated this idea in October 2025, and we’re sorry it’s taken some time for us to provide another. We will do our best to keep you more informed of progress as it continues.

    Where SSO is today

    We’ve built an SSO capability for accountant and bookkeeper partner practices using OpenID Connect (OIDC). We ran a closed beta with a small group of partners, which is now complete, and those partners are connected. We’re still confirming how and when other accounting and bookkeeping partners can access it. SSO isn’t currently available to businesses or IT providers. We’ll share access details in a future update once they’re confirmed.

    What we’re looking at next

    We’re exploring what it would take to offer SSO to small businesses. Business needs differ from accountant and bookkeeper partners’, so we’re looking at:

    SSO is not only desired, it is REQUIRED. We are no longer onboarding any new systems that do not afford single sign on, for all the reasons of security, access control and account management that have already been stated.

    Like others have mentioned, if we cannot have this level of security and account management on the Xero platform then we will be forced to look at alternatives that provide it.

    Being in the financial sector we are heavily and continually audited by external parties, and the main thing that gets brought up on every report is the lack of SSO security with Xero.
