KeyPay SMS Verification

By handling KeyPay SMS verification with a virtual number, you can securely access this cloud-based payroll and workforce management platform without sharing your personal line.

KeyPay is a cloud-based payroll and workforce management platform that launched in Australia in 2012 and serves Australia, the UK, New Zealand, Singapore and Malaysia (today under the Employment Hero umbrella). It automates salary calculations, rostering, leave tracking and employee self-service. Because it holds sensitive financial data, two-factor authentication (2FA) by phone is requested to prevent unauthorized access.

When a verification code is requested during login or sign-up, you select a virtual number for KeyPay from the panel and enter the SMS code in the relevant field. This method is convenient for accountants, payroll providers or employees who want to test the platform without sharing their personal number, set up a demo or training environment, or create a profile separate from their existing account.

Payroll data is highly sensitive; use the virtual number only to receive one-time verification codes, and bind permanent two-factor authentication to a secure device or authenticator app of your own that you can always access. On corporate accounts, make sure you comply with your company's security and data-retention policies and that your access to the relevant number will continue without interruption.
