Hi Mike_James
Yep have to agree with you both - a dismal mess by MYOB on the par with CrowdStrikes mess.
I think @MikeJames is onto something regarding a 3rd party IAM taking over MYOB's security tokens - the addition of the prefix "ory...... to the codes and tokens seems to be the beginning of this mess.
Like @Mike_James I am not a primary .Net user for access to MYOB's API so fixes from the API forum (mostly .Net based) aren't useful to us per se, however, since this mess rolled over us I have brought up to speed the old 2010/2013 VB.NET API SDK MYOB utility - updated and got it working so that I can now keep abreast of MS Access & VB.Net changes.
However, in the end as @Julia alludes to the browser change was a red herring and in fact, in my opinion, MYOB darting up the wrong tributary for the source of the problem - it was the format of the returned payload that had changed AND the token format because it was either being created by a 3rd party IAM www.ory.sh or the change wasn't the browser but the whole internal token producing code - we will never know.
The end result was simply us developers were treated as 2nd rate citizens and the changes were dumped on us without out due process, consideration or thought which suggests something deep within the bowels of MYOB went wrong and some collective rear-ends need re-assignment.
See my separate post yesterday but in the end the fixes to MS Access code and VB/VC#.Net codes was simple and likely would have been worked out quickly by the collective brainpool that this forum provides.
The failure was "WE WERE JUST NOT TOLD" and then lead on a wild goose chase regarding browser type - sure this might ultimately lead to some more adjusting of our code but it was NOT the critical change that brought the camel down.
Wake up MYOB - we developers are a critical mass and such disasters do you a lot of damage.
