If you've got a new phone or other mobile device, you can set it up for two-factor authentication (2FA).

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

Because you can only receive codes on one device at a time, you'll need to change your 2FA device as follows.

    7. If your app allows you to set up 2FA by scanning a barcode in the app, choose that option and scan the QR code that's displayed on the MYOB screen. The below is a sample only.
    8. If you can't scan the QR code, your app will have an option that lets you manually type a code instead. To do this, click Can't scan with QR code? on the MYOB page and enter the code that appears into the app.

      These codes will help you sign into your account if you lose access to your device. Learn more about using your backup codes.
    11. Click Finish and sign in.
      From now on, when you sign in you'll be asked to enter an authentication code from your app. If you don't want to do this every time, next time you sign in tick the box that says Trust this device for 30 days.
