It should be up to an organisation to set its own policies on security not you as the software provider. Please change it so that I as the company administrator can choose what level I want for my companies (we have 21 separate files).

absolutely, myob. stop this login. As for security, we have a password, and we have to type the email address, that's enough for us.
this is not working for us, so i will be considering moving to another service for sure.

Hi Flowtek15 - please see my previous response here
This is an ATO requirement so all services in Australia will need to meet the 24 hour 2FA standard. It was not a decision made by MYOB to do this, but a case of ensuring our software and our customers are compliant. Thanks- BelaC22 days agoCover User
To comply with a crazy decision is madness on its own! To make others comply is the only thing that is topping it. Maybe MYOB should pass the voice and opinion of the community to the ATO rather than just passing on a decision that simply is inconvenient to most if not to all. Don't you agree?

Completely agree. Apparently as from 27th November 2024 users will be AUTOMATICALLY signed out of their account after 20-30 minutes of inactivity.
I am a work at home consultant, so nobody else has access to my computer. There are no other "Team Members" to access my computer.
Why should I have to re-log back in if it takes me longer than 20 minutes to walk to the kitchen to make my lunch.

Exactly
My workflow is different to other businesses and as of today I have have to re-sign in three times - within the space of a little over two hours.
I hate this - it is a massive intrusion and disruption to my workflow - that it is mandated by ATO is a further uninvited, unmandated and unwanted intrusion into the rights of business owners to conduct their businesses within the current legal framework. There was no consultation on this.
This has made my life much more finicky and provided no further level of security in my One-person Office - its frankly ridiciulous

Thank You Micky... I couldn't have said this better.... The 2FA & 30min Time Outs, assume that users only complete one Role.... as Office Manager for a small business I'm forever up & down from my computer & the last thing I need is to constantly have to re-enter into MYOB.... This is over kill & security that not all users requested when we signed up:(
