2FA Enforcement Date
IMPORTANT - MUST READ
In our March Azure AD Enablement Webinar, we announced that two-factor authentication (2FA) will be enforced by June 30, 2023.
On review, we made a change in the latest release (2022.2 & 2022.1.301) where the "Enforcement Date" field has been replaced by an "Enforce Secure Authentication" checkbox.
Learn more about this change in our release notes here – 2022.2.101 & 2022.1.301.
Customers on older versions will still have the enforcement date reflected as 30 June 2023.
To assist in managing the change MYOB will extend this enforcement date for all sites reflecting 30 June 2023 now set to 31 March 2024. This date change will take effect today with no impact on customers.
Next steps
- Customer sites will need to upgrade to a version that enables the checkbox, this will occur during their scheduled major upgrades to 2022.2 and above.
- Sites not scheduled through July or August will be scheduled to a hotfix window in August to receive a hotfix upgrade containing the change to a checkbox. Details of the deployment window to follow soon.
What does this mean?
The tenant administrator will have full control of when this feature is made mandatory for all UI users (except MYOB Admin) where they are required to sign up with the MYOB Identity provider.
Things to be aware of
To maintain compliance with the DSP framework, we must enforce Secure Authentication and any two-factor authentication (2FA) requirements outlined by the ATO. All changes to this field are audited for review of the noted compliance, and extra restrictions may be applied to ensure only certain personnel can modify this configuration.
