FAQs
You can choose to log into your MYOB Atlas website using an account you hold with Google, Facebook, PayPal, Windows Live (Hotmail), Yahoo, Twitter or LinkedIn. By using one of your existing accounts to log in, you won't have to remember a new set of login details. MYOB Atlas uses OpenID to allow you to do so.
MYOB Atlas cannot log into this other account on your behalf, because we do not store your login password; instead, it's stored by your chosen account provider. For example, if you choose to use a Google account to log in, your password will only be accessed and verified by Google. Google will then tell MYOB Atlas that you're a genuine Google user and are authorised to log into your website. For more information about OpenID, see What is OpenID?
