Question
How do I recover my user account or reset two-factor authentication (2FA) on Employment Hero?
Answer
You can use the Account Recover feature to restore your account access, even if you have lost 2FA access. Please keep in mind though, you will need some form of photo ID, for example, a passport or driver's licence to use this feature.
Important
Only the user themselves can reset their own password. The password reset itself cannot be completed on behalf of the employee, even by an admin.
