Hi MikeG1 Every 30 days is acceptable. Every 24h isn't. We're using the desktop app and will continue to do so as long as it is available or we move to a different provider. I could understand if this was rolled out just for the browser version but to make it for the desktop version as well seems over the top. We use SAP B1 for one of the companies in the group and it doesn't even use 2FA.
Hi MickyH75 , there are a couple of extra points I can clarify here.
Thanks for your questions, I will update our main post about this change as well.
2 key messages/updates:
- 2FA is prompted on login to your account, and not for each file
So changing between your 21 files after you have signed in, will not prompt for any further 2FA verification - This is only for online files
The comms does mention AccountRight Desktop, but we neglected to be specific this is only for online, if you have using a local, offline, desktop file in AccountRight you may not be prompted for 2FA

MikeG1I assumed it would be for log in only but still painful and it seems I'm not the only one that finds this unnecessary based on the comments on one of the other threads. We use Desktop but our files are online as we operate across multiple sites in different states and it saves having to connect via vpn between sites.
