A few points...

  1. SMS is not secure, sim swapping attacks have been a thing for ages because of this SMS is considered as a weak from of 2FA
  2. Given the above, why are you REQUIRING all MYOB users to weaken their security by forcing SMS on all accounts?
  3. What about those who don't have a mobile phone? What your saying is you are forcing those who don't have one to shell out at least $200+ for the phone and a monthly payment just so we can continue using your software?

MFA is a great thing, but your upcoming implementation is horrible, why are you doing this?
