I'd like to be very clear here, the changes MYOB have made has compromised security!!!
When users now exit out of MYOB via the options of either closing the program window using the X or selecting File>Exit, they can now open the program without ANY requirement to log in using a password. MYOB will immediately lauch the program without any password OR 2FA authentication!!!!!
Previously when you closed the program, you would have to login using a password. Why did MYOB change this and how can you possibly purport that this improves security?
The situation now, is that anyone who has access to my computer could simply open the program and have access to MYOB WITHOUT having to actually login in using a password.
I'm sorry, but I fail to see how this is an Improved Security measure. Are you aware that other programs such as Xero & Quickbooks, require you to login with a password and Xero requires 2FA everytime you login. Both these programs will also time you out of the program after a period of time, also requiring you to use a password and 2FA to log back in to the program.
If the MYOB program is exited in any way, as a matter of security it should require you to login using a password. No system should allow you to open the program without any authentication or password at all.
Absolutely agree, this lack of security is incredable.
