If you're an MYOB Partner interested in having their practice use two-factor authentication (2FA), there are a few important details to go over before making the final call.

Will 2FA work for my practice?

Two-factor authentication is only suitable in practices where every accountant/bookkeeper has their own login. Because we use app-based authentication, each MYOB account will be linked to a specific smartphone or tablet. For general information on 2FA, see 2-factor authentication.

Check it out and consider how this works in your business workflows. For example, do your team members have their own smartphones? Will they be able to install the authenticator app?

Remember - your team members can select the option Remember this computer for 30 days, so they won't need to type a verification code every time they sign in (if they're using the same computer).

Because we want you to make the decision that works for your practice at a time that suits you, we won’t be prompting your team members (assuming their user login is associated with your practice MYOB account). Nothing will change for your team until you decide to roll out this new feature in your practice.

Is 2FA mandatory for my practice?

No - it's an individual choice whether or not you want to make your login details more secure. We're just offering you the option to turn it on.
