Why is an authentication code required each time I log in?

If Zenefits continues asking for an authentication code at each login, it's probably because the web browser isn't accepting cookies from websites.

  • Zenefits requires that cookies are enabled in the browser in order to correctly determine whether someone has previously logged in.
  • Cookies are not shared between browsers. Switching from one browser to a different web browser will prompt Zenefits to ask for an authentication code.
