Hi MYOB .... we were PERFECTLY happy with our security LOGIN previously .... in fact we LOVED being able to select a trust this login for 30 days"" option (it was taken away from us without consultation) ...... HATE the fact that we now have to authenticate each day!!!! ..... BUT TO HAVE TO SIGN BACK IN EVERY 30 MINUTES ..... NO .... NO..... NO..... PLEASE give us the option to OPT OUT OF THIS "SECURITY MEASURE"...... As MickyH75 has stated previously "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 don't have time to scratch ourselves in our office ..... this is LUDICROUS and not democratic .... this is a deal breaker .... give us a choice PLEASE!!! sorry to be so dramatic .... BUT SERIOUSLY.....NO !!!
Hi RuthCO , thanks for adding your feedback on the change. Just based on what you have written, I want to confirm that users will not have to sign back in every 30 minutes. They will be required to sign in again after 20-30 minutes of inactivity. A minor detail and perhaps you understood that but I wanted to make sure it is clear for others who will be reading the thread.

Hi Mike...... I am well aware of that fact that this will kick in for "inactivity" ..... it does not change a thing ..... my statement stands .... please create an OPTION such that we can OPT OUT of this new "security measure" .... our organization DOES NOT WANT TO BE FORCED INTO THIS PROCESS ... with thanks

Hey RuthCO
This idea has been mentioned over on our Ideas Exchange, however, these changes were made in order to best protect your sensitive business data and it's unlikely we will explore updating the login requirement.

So you admit that it is OUR sensitive data but then make decisions for us that we don't agree with! I think I'll quit my job and go start setting up standalone MYOB servers and VPN's and configure full OFFLINE turnkey solutions. I'm sure I'll have a queue a mile long signing up. Yes there will be some inconvenience regarding STP but it will now outweigh all the other inconveniences being imposed

You clearly have never run a busy business. You are trying to put lipstick on a pig selling this stupid security hurdle people will have to deal with multiple times a day. We can't even properly use a password manager with MYOB. Seriously, read the room...
