Opting out of new security changes

That was my first thought too, for exactly the same reasons. May be helpful for some businesses (but if they don't already have policies in place for when you move away from your desk you've got to wonder). But I work from home, husband/wife business, no one else is here - it should be up to us to manage our own risks, not an across-the-board, one-size-fits-all and quite significant change affecting all users. Just more steps/time when clients are calling and you're looking for their history etc as they talk. 
Happy enough with 2FA once every 24 hours, but just like with Outlook or other apps/platforms open during work hours, we manage risks as we need to. Will we be asked for facial recognition on every login next, just to be sure?? LOL 

MYOB - please add an opt-out function. 

It seems that the ATO and/or MYOB don't understand what a bookkeeper's day really looks like... we're in and out of working in MYOB all during the day, but often with 30 mins or more inactivity between jobs, or even between 2 different company files.  This is terrible news!

Yes, an opt-out function would be welcomed.

This is becoming a joke... and please, when is MYOB going to fix the problem with emailing remittances????

Surely with the EOM approaching this needs to be addressed.

Hi,

I work for a multi group of companies and have up to 7-8 myob files open all day.  Only 3 Myob Files have operating Payroll.  All the others are Trading myobs and not the actual accounting with Payroll.  The Trading only Myobs should be able to opt out of the security function.  Or another option could be when connecting to the ATO and sending the file through, then you need the 3 step security function.  I think this last option would be the best.

Very good point about the New Zealand customers being made to re=sign in due to your ATO security changes, when they are not in Australia. I am dubious about ATO compliance and security requirements being behind this change. Thinking there may be other reasons MYOB have issues with security

I totally agree with the comments that we should be able to choose to opt out of this security changes.

What another headache you have given us at MYOB.

To top it off you are doing maintenace or something so we can't send out any accounts till tonight after 8pm. 

Come on team Myob surely you can organise your system much better than this.

Don't tell me some new person has taken over and changing the system to suit their ego Ha ha hope this couldn't be true.

Why do this at the end of the month. Plan a little better next time please  

Has anyone else tried to login this morning only to be rejected because 2FA isn't working?  I tried about 6 or 7 times with the correct code but it appears that something in the back end appears to be buggered.  So not only have we had this forced upon us it isn't reliable
