2. Type in your email address.
3. Type in your Gusto password.
4. If applicable, check the box next to "I'm not a robot."
5. Click Sign In.
   • If you're signing in using a new device we're unfamiliar with, to keep your account secure, we'll send you an authorization email. Click the authorization link in that email to finish signing in to Gusto.

Using 2-step verification reduces the chances of having your account accessed by anyone else as they would need to have your Gusto sign in email, password, and phone number. Set up 2-step verification today to help prevent potential account access issues later.
