MYOB Advanced security update 2023.1.3 release

Hi All,

At MYOB, we understand the vital role passwords play in safeguarding your user accounts and the confidentiality of your information. Ensuring your passwords are secure is critical to prevent unauthorised access to your MYOB Advanced site. 

That’s why, with the release of MYOB Advanced version 2023.1.3 (available 22 March 2024, deployed May 2024), we are introducing enhanced password security standards. These standards comply with the latest recommendations from regulatory organisations. 

 

What to do before the upgrade 

Note:  These changes only affect you if you sign in with a username and password, not if you use secure authentication. 

If your current password doesn’t already meet the enhanced complexity requirements and hasn't been updated recently, we recommend you set a new, complex password now before your upgrade. 

To change your password:  

1. When logged in click the down arrow on your name and click My Profile.  
2. Then click Change Password.  
3. Enter your old password, followed by your new complex password twice, then click OK to confirm.

The Password Should Meet Complexity Requirements and be at least 14 characters long and contain at least one upper-case letter (A to Z), one lower-case letter (a to z), and one number (0 to 9) or symbol (e.g., !#$%^). 

 

Please pass these details onto all your impacted staff. 

 

What happens if people haven't changed their password before the upgrade? 

If they didn't change their password to meet the enhanced complexity requirements they will need to set a new, complex password before they can log in after your upgrade. 

 

They will know they're affected if they see New Password and Confirm Password fields after trying to sign in after the upgrade. 

 

Note:  Those using secure authentication already will not be impacted.
