You'll still 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 two ways to get this code:

• via an authenticator app (recommended) on a mobile device (phone, tablet, etc.)—the code displays in the app
• via SMS—the code is sent to your mobile phone via text message

Which 2FA method is best for you depends on what devices you use and how you access your account, but we recommend that you use an authenticator app rather than SMS. This is because codes from an authenticator app are available immediately and can be received even if your internet or mobile service is down.

   We recommend using Authy as it offers the ability to backup your code in case you change phone in the future, so you can always access your MYOB account.

   The following steps are based on the Authy app, but they should be similar if you're using another app.

4. Follow your app's onscreen instructions to register, such as by using an email address or via SMS.

5. Tap Add account.

If you or anyone else tries to sign in to your account from another computer or browser, an authentication code will still be required. For more information on how this setting works, see Trust this device for 30 days.

Are you seeing this error?

Check the following:

I’m still asked for a code after selecting "Trust this device"

The option Trust this device for 30 days only works when you sign in with the same device and browser you were using when you selected it (for example, using Chrome on your laptop, or Internet Explorer on your tablet). If you sign in from another device or browser, 2FA will still be required.

There are some reasons you might still be prompted for a 2FA code after selecting this option. For more details see Trust this device for 30 days.

I temporarily don't have access to my phone

Left your phone at home? You can use a backup code instead of a 2FA code.

If you don't have backup codes, click Don't have your code? Try another way on the 2FA sign in window and follow the prompts.

I can't close the 2FA window

Press Alt + F4 (Windows) or Command + W (Mac) to close the 2FA window. Note that you'll still need to enter a correct 2FA code if you want to access your MYOB software.

When you call, you'll be prompted to enter you client ID, serial number or mobile number. If you don't know these details, press 1 to be transferred to our support team.

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, MYOB Business or MYOB Essentials.
