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
yes I do have to deal with 2FA... I use two company files all day every day via desktop accountright. Online does not have the inventory capabilities that I need. I get quizzed apparently randomly about 2FA authentication when logging into both files - I generally am in them both concurrently all day as I am a one person band, and my husband is too, so I do both our books as well as everything else - so having to login every time after I go to the loo or help a customer is really a PITA. (My computer is secured in that time)
I also request that the login screen remembers the email address/login id as it is irritating and prone to typos. Even my internet banking across a variety of banks allows a dropdown login ids and remembers the password attached to that ID. Thinking about going back to a standalone accounting system if they still exist.
