How to Set Up Employment Hero (formerly Humi) MFA Using 1Password

If you don’t have a smartphone or cannot receive text messages, you can still secure your account. You can set up Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) using the 1Password app directly on your computer.

This guide will show you how to link your Employment Hero (formerly Humi) account to 1Password. You only need to complete this setup one time. Once it is finished, you can choose to receive your login codes via email instead.

Get Your Employment Hero (formerly Humi) Secret Key

Log in to Employment Hero (formerly Humi) until you see the QR Code screen.
Click the link that says "Trouble scanning?"
Copy the code (a mix of letters and numbers) that appears. This is your "Secret Key," and it's what you'll use on the 1Password App.

Step 1: Download and open 1Password

Download and install 1Password on your computer.
Open the 1Password application and sign in or create an account.

Step 2: Create a new login item on 1Password

Open the 1Password app on your computer.

Click New Item and select Login.
Enter the following details:

Title: Employment Hero (formerly Humi)
Username: Your Employment Hero (formerly Humi) email
Password: Your Employment Hero (formerly Humi) password

Step 3: Add the MFA (One-Time Password)

While still in the login item:

Scroll down and click Add More Fields (or Add New Field)
Select One-Time Password
Paste the Secret Key you copied from Humi into this field. This usually looks like a long code, for example: JBSWY3DPEHPK3PX.
Click Save.

Step 4: Use the MFA code and verify the connection

1Password will now show a 6-digit code that changes every 30 seconds. Copy this 6-digit code and enter it into the Humi setup screen to finish.

Step 5: Future Logins (Email Option)

Once this setup is complete, you can choose "Try Another Method" on the login screen if you prefer to receive your codes via email in the future.
