Sign in on a personal device - using your work account
You can sign in on a personal device using your work Microsoft login details - your work username, rather than your work email address.
For added security, you will need to set up Microsoft Authenticator on your device.
You only need to complete steps 1 to 4 once. Step 5 is required each time you log in.
Step 1: Go to MyView
- Visit the MyView login page
- Enter your Payroll ID and password
Step 2: Follow the on-screen instructions
You will be prompted to set up Multi Factor Authentication (MFA).
Step 3: Set up the Microsoft Authenticator app
There are two ways to set up the app - choose to scan a QR code if you have two devices, or enter a code manually if you only have one device.
Option 1: Scan a QR code
Follow these steps if you have two devices, such as a laptop and mobile, and are able to scan a QR code.
- Open the Microsoft Authenticator app on your phone
- Tap the + icon and choose Other account (Google, Facebook, etc.)
- Scan the QR code shown on the MyView screen
- A new account called HG will be created, showing your name as held in the payroll system
Option 2: Enter a code manually
Follow these steps if you only have one device.
- Click Show manual entry code on the MyView screen
- In the Authenticator app, tap the '+' icon and choose Other account (Google, Facebook, etc.)
- Tap Enter code manually
- Enter hg@highland.gov.uk as the account name
- Paste the manual entry code into the Secret key field
- Tap Finish to create the HG account
Step 4: Enter the 6-digit code
- Tap the HG account in the app to generate a 6-digit code
- Enter this code in MyView to complete the setup
Step 5: Use the app each time you log in
Each time you log in, open the app and enter the 6-digit code from the HG account
