Setting up 2FA in version 2024.1

Protecting your company data is more important then ever, and 2FA will soon be mandatory for payroll administrators. If you're using version 2024.1, follow these instructions to sign up now and avoid disruption.

Protecting your MYOB Acumatica data is more important than ever. To meet new ATO security requirements for software that manages personal identifiable information, we're making 2FA mandatory for all payroll administrators by the end of November 2025.

Sign up for 2FA as soon as you can to avoid any interruptions on a pay day.

To start signing in with 2FA, you need to create an MYOB ID account and associate it with your MYOB Acumatica username. Once this is done you can start signing in using the purple Secure Authentication button.
