Two-factor authentication (2FA) codes can be received via email or a mobile phone app (help me choose which method to use).

To set up 2FA on a new phone, choose your scenario and we'll step you through it.

 

I've never used 2FA on a phone before

This means you're set up for email 2FA, but it's easy to switch to using a mobile phone app instead.

  1. Go to my.account.myob.com and log in with your MYOB account details.

  2. Verify your account by entering the emailed authentication code and clicking Sign in.
  3. Download an authentication app. To use app-based authentication, you need to download an authenticator app onto your device.
    You'll use this app to get the verification code needed to sign into your MYOB account. These apps don't need internet access to work.

    Android & Apple devices
    1. Open the Google Play or App Store app on your phone.
    2. Search for "Google Authenticator" and look for this icon:
    3. Download and install Google Authenticator onto your phone.
    Windows mobile devices
    1. Open the Windows Store app on your phone (or tap here).
    2. Search for Microsoft Authenticator and look for this icon:
    3. Download and install the application onto your phone.
  4. Once you've installed the authenticator app on your device, you need to link the app to your MYOB account.

    Link the authenticator app to your MYOB account
    1. Go to my.account.myob.com and log in with your MYOB account details.

    5. Choose your operating system, then click OK I've downloaded the app.
    6. Open the authenticator app on your device and add a new account. If you have trouble, see the app's help.
    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.
    9. Once you've scanned the QR code or manually entered the MYOB code, a code will appear in your app. Type this into the Enter the code field on the MYOB page and click Continue.
    10. Click Download 10 backup codes, and save the file somewhere safe.
      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.
