This morning when I attempt to login to AccountRight 2024.2 I get a Security Alert.What is odd is that the valid data is pretty short. It also took several seconds for the alert to popup.How can I verify that this actually issued for MYOB (there is nothing that points to this in the cert details) and that I'm actually contacting the myob servers and not being re-directed to some bogus site?

Hi ss1, Thanks for the response and for providing the screenshot of the page. At MYOB, we take security very seriously and have several measures in place to ensure the safety and reliability of our systems. Your connection is not private, typically due to a problem with the website's security certificate. It's generally advisable not to ignore this warning and not to proceed to the website unless your company's IT is certain it's safe to do so. For the error message you're receiving, as a workaround, I recommend clicking "yes" to get rid of the warning message and proceed with your file. However, it will still pop up every time you log in, as this is a security alert from your device. To remove this permanently, I recommend seeking the assistance of your company's IT personnel, as this is regarding the internal security of your computer. Please don't hesitate to reach out or use our online virtual help MOCA in case you still need further assistance. Kind regards, Shella

So, the question is, why does a website MYOB recommends for downloading the "trusted" root certificate (that is required for their software) itself be not trusted??This seems a MYOB issue NOT an issue for us. If we cannot trust the "trusted" cert that MYOB AR uses, who can we trust? Asking us to solve the issue seem very bizare to say the least.I raised a support ticket with MYOB support but they just referenced this questionable download page too.Someone in MYOB security needs to address this and at least explain why the site MYOB uses is not secure itself.

Hi ss1, Thanks for your post, and welcome to the Community Forum. My apologies for the late response. We value your effort in providing a detailed error message.

That site itself doesn't seem secure. See attached image.

BTW the workaround doesn't work when submitting payroll records to the ATO - that still fails probably because the trusted root cert is not found or is invalid.So yes, we can login, but some functionality still doesn't work (prob for good reason).

I'm having the same issue in the last week or so when I try to log in. I'm getting a security alert. The only work around is to say yes to proceed in order to allow log in. I've had numerous issues trying to log into since the last patch.
