Howdy,

I've just received the email saying we will now be logged out of MYOB if we don't use it for 20-30 minutes, then we have to manually type in our email address and password - again.

While I'm sure we all appreciate the pressures on data security, I think this is way too quick to log people out, much less having to type passwords over and over during the day.

I run a small business with 5 fulltime staff, I get called away to help with things and help them get work done, take phone calls, attend online meetings, this means I'm probably going to have to log in 4-5 times per day, and I'm of the opinion typing in your password would leave you more vulnerable to attacks than having a software package open on your desktop.

2 hours and you're logged out maybe, 20-30 minutes is crazy.

Thanks,

Jason

    same here....i run 5 companies and if am doing work on one company am logged out after 2-3 mins...this is terrible and just adds to ineffecient and timewasting things to do.  we should be able to turn this off and on as we need.
