Re: Opting out of new security changes
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 reliableRe: Opting out of new security changes
AmandaMYOBcan you please explain why this is a mandatory change. I am in New Zealand not Australia so have no interaction with the ATO I don't use payroll features I work from home or my office There are not strangers that could access the system It's my business am I not responsible for my own security policies I don't want my screen to timeout every 20 minutesRe: Opting out of new security changes
Thanks for responding. This maybe the case for a corporate environment however these large companies also have their own security teams to make these decisions and define their own policies, large corporates also implement SSO to streamline authentication in addition to their security policies and minimise the number of login requirements for their staff so as not to impact productivity. It feels like small business is being dictated to and consideration has not been given to the impacts on us. If you refer to the article liked by Ellemm then this is not an ATO requirement but a decision made by someone at MYOB which has not been received well by your customers.Re: Opting out of new security changes
Hi Mike_MYOB You were very quick to reply to my comment about 2FA being necessary to access to the community yet there has still been no response to my initial question about opting out of these new security changes that many of us are not happy with. Can you provide a response about opting out of this pleaseOpting out of new security changes
How can I opt out or disable the new security changes. As a small business there is myself and my wife, I don't see where a security risk. If I need an inactivity timeout to lock the device I am going to configure it on my computer not at an application level. I saw a comment that this is for Australian Tax Office compliance. If this is the case why are you forcing it onto New Zealand customers? The two factor auth was painful enough but to have to log back after 20 or 30 minutes is going to completely do my head in.
