Have you entered a code for another account?

If you use more than one 2FA app, have more than one account in your 2FA app or you use more than one MYOB product, it's easy to enter the wrong code for your MYOB software. Check that you are getting the code from the correct 2FA app and try again.

For example, if you're using app-based 2FA and you have two MYOB accounts, check the email address under the code – it needs to be same as your MYOB login email for the MYOB account you're trying to access:

title	What if I temporarily don't have access to my device?

You can use a backup code instead of a 2FA code if you don't have access to your device. Each code can only be used once, and you need to get them in advance.

title	What if I change my device or phone number?

2FA is only affected if you change the device you want to use, not your phone number.

You can only receive codes on one device at a time, so you'll need to change your 2FA device in the Security Centre. If you don't have access to your old device, you'll need to:

use a backup code to sign in, or
get our help to recover your account.

SMS - You need phone reception to receive 2FA codes via SMS.
Email - You do need internet access to receive emails containing your 2FA codes.
