Stay Compliant with MYOB Acumatica’s Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

In this guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about 2FA, including how to set it up and best practices for managing it across your organisation.

What is Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)?
2FA adds an additional security step to your login process. Along with your username and password, you’ll need to provide a second piece of information, like a verification code sent to your phone. This makes it much harder for unauthorised users to access your accounts.
Why is 2FA Important?
2FA significantly reduces the risk of unauthorised access to your MYOB Acumatica system, even if your password is compromised. It’s an essential tool in maintaining the security of sensitive payroll data and meeting compliance requirements set by the ATO.
