| Change to sign-in frequency If you notice that you’re being prompted to sign in to MYOB more frequently, or less frequently, than previously, this is because of a security enhancement we’ve released in response to customer requests. |
These days a password isn't enough to protect your online data. That's why we use two-factor authentication (2FA) is a secure sign in process that combines something you know (your password) with something you have (your phone).Check out this short video for an overview of 2-factor authentication with MYOB:as a second layer of protection. It involves using something only you have access to: either your email inbox or a mobile device. This makes it harder for unauthorised people to get into your MYOB software. HTML |

| What if I don't have my phone with me or my phone is lost? If you've misplaced your phone, you can still sign in with 2-factor authentication using a one-use backup code. Haven't set up 2-factor authentication? The codes will be made available to download at the end of the setup processstill use your email address and password to sign into your online MYOB software. Then you'll need to enter an authentication code to verify that it's you. There's three ways to get this code: - via an authenticator app (recommended) on a mobile device (phone, tablet, etc.)—the code displays in the app
- via email—the code is in an email sent to the address linked to your MYOB account
- via SMS—the code is sent to your mobile phone via text message
Getting set upThe first time you access your online MYOB software, you'll be guided through the 2FA setup. For detailed steps on setting it up, see Setting up two-factor authentication. To learn more about what 2FA method to choose, see Choosing which two-factor authentication method to use. Once you're set up with mobile app or email 2FA, you'll be able to switch between these methods. See Switching between email and app two-factor authentication. Changed phones?

| Why do I need to install an app to use 2-factor authentication? Can my verification code be messaged to me instead?MYOB's method of 2-factor authentication requires an authenticator app. Without the app, two-factor authentication cannot be enabled for your account. We use an authenticator app instead of SMS because authenticator apps can generate a 2FA verification code without mobile network coverage, so you can access your MYOB account anywhere, anytime. You can use any authenticator that is TOTP compliant; but we recommend using either of these authenticator apps: - Google Authenticator
- Windows Authenticator

| What happens if I get a new phone? Because the authentication app is tied to the phone it's installed on, switching phones means you'll no longer be able to access your verification codes until you enable 2FA on your new device. First, before getting rid of your old phone, you need to turn off 2-factor authentication. Alternatively, you can sign in using one of your backup codes. If you can't access your phone or backup codes, please contact us. Next, follow the steps to setting up 2FA on your new phone | Log out when you’re done It’s good security practice to log out at the end of every session. |
It's more secure and easier to use an authenticator app, however you'll be set up for email 2FA by default. As well as email or app 2FA, you can also set up SMS 2FA. Need more details? See Choosing which two-factor authentication method to use HTML |

title | How does 2FA work when multiple users need to access the same data? |
---|
| 2FA is unique to each user account. Multiple accounts can still access the same data (for example, a company file), but each user should have their own login and 2FA method. We don't recommend sharing a single login between multiple people. Learn how to add a new user to AccountRight or MYOB Business. |
