How do I change my MYOB Essentials login email address?

1. Sign in to my.MYOB (Australia | New Zealand) with your current email address and password.
2. Go to the My Account menu at the top of the screen and choose Change Login.
   
3. Update your login.

Can't change your login via my.MYOB?

An MYOB Essentials administrator will need to create a new user and specify the new email address. An invitation will then be sent to the new email address. Once the new login has been set up, you can delete the old user login.

I've updated my address - why is my old address is still showing on invoices or statements?

When you set up your invoice and quote settings, you may have chosen to upload a full width header image to show at the top of your invoices. This image may include your old address. If so, create a new image with your current address and upload the new image.
