How To Connect Your Google Or Microsoft Account To Your Payrun Account
Noah Parker28 Jul 2026
You can connect your Google or Microsoft account to your existing Payrun account from My Profile → Login Methods. After connecting, you can sign in to Payrun using your linked account without entering your Payrun email and password every time.
Before You Start
Before connecting a new login method, make sure you have:
An active Payrun account
Access to the Google or Microsoft account you want to connect
Your current Payrun password for identity verification
Note: Connecting a Google or Microsoft account does not create a new Payrun account. It simply adds another secure way to access your existing account.

Step 1: Open Your Profile
Sign in to your Payrun account.
Click your profile avatar in the bottom-left corner.
Select My profile.
Step 2: Open Login Methods
From the left navigation menu, click Login methods.
Find the Google login option.
Click Connect.
Step 3: Confirm Your Payrun Password
For security, Payrun verifies your identity before allowing you to add another login method.
Enter your Payrun password.
Click Confirm.
Important: Enter your Payrun password, not your Google account password.
Step 4: Select Your Google Account
Google's sign-in page opens.
Select the Google account you want to connect.
If the account is not listed, click Use another account and sign in.
Step 5: Continue With Google
Review the selected account.
Click Continue.
Step 6: Grant Permission
Google displays the permissions Payrun requires.
Review the requested permissions.
Click Continue.
Payrun will complete the connection automatically.

Payrun verifies your identity before allowing changes to your login methods. This prevents unauthorized users from linking external accounts.
