Token getting process
Hi MYOB
Steven on the general forum mentioned there was (is) changes happening in the logon process of opening an online MYOB file
i.e. that the pasword field now is only visible after you enter an email and I assume it gets checked for authenticity - and you are offered a password logon field if the email is registered?
Steven did say that there was on-going changes in security procedures being developed?
Can you confirm or at least give some sort of heads up whether this will affect/change the current procedure for an API access to an online file.
i.e.
1. establish a connection with a legitimate authenitcated logon (which requires a manual 2FA) process - fully manual (and for security reasons cannot be automated)
2. Once the manual process is successful - an Access Code is issued (life = 20 minutes)
3. Access Code exchanged for Access Token (life = 20 minutes) and a Refresh Token (Life = 7 days)
4. The Access Token is then used along with the file administrator password to access the data in the file via the API
5. The process can continue automatically (without further manual intervention) - so long as your Access Token is current (done by essentially always using the Refresh Token to get a new Access Token)
Can you confirm this procedure will remain or is MYOB in the process of changing this?
