Repeated Passcode Prompts When Switching Between Admin and Employee Accounts in Gusto
Users who hold both an admin and a personal employee account in Gusto must repeatedly re-enter a passcode every time they switch between the two, with no option to stay logged in or save credentials. This adds friction for anyone managing payroll while also being an employee on the same platform.

surfaced semanticallyGusto Login Process Causes Confusion With Multiple Email Accounts
Users find Gusto's login frustrating when they have registered with a different email than their primary one. User-side account management issue rather than a product deficiency. Minimal signal for product improvement.
Gusto Session Timeouts Disrupt Payroll Workflows
Gusto logs users out frequently and provides no persistent login option, interrupting multi-step payroll tasks. For administrators managing time-sensitive payroll runs, repeated re-authentication creates meaningful friction. The absence of a "stay logged in" setting is a missing standard feature.
Gusto requires manual login every time instead of staying signed in
A Gusto user wants the platform to remember their login so they don't have to authenticate every single time they access it. The lack of persistent sessions or automated login adds repetitive friction.
Gusto forces frequent re-logins with no option to extend session timeout
A Gusto user wants the ability to disable or extend the automatic session timeout so they are not repeatedly required to log back in during their workday.
Gusto Time Tracking Requires Post-Shift Edits and Forces Admins to Use Personal Accounts
Gusto users cannot edit a shift's start time until after the shift ends, forcing awkward after-the-fact corrections, and new admins must initially set up using their personal employee account rather than a dedicated admin account. Both create friction for businesses managing hourly staff and access permissions.
