OVERVIEW
As part of our ongoing commitment to security, we have updated our authentication procedures.

AUTHENTICATION-BASED ENHANCEMENT
Previously, as a first-time log-in user, after you’ve added your username and password, you would be taken to a Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) page, wherein you would be asked to choose either Text-based messaging or a Security app code to verify your account credentials.
However, with this update, upon verifying your account credential through an OTP (via SMS or security app), you (as a first-time user) will be redirected to a Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) page and be asked to scan the QR code (via an Authenticator app) to receive a confirmation code that completes the MFA setup process.
This is a one-time procedure, and once you’ve completed it, you can henceforth log in to your account by first adding your login credentials and then verifying them with a code from your Authenticator app.
Note: All users must enable Authenticator app-based MFA since SMS-based MFA has been officially discontinued.

IDENTITY APP ENHANCEMENT
We have moved the Security section from the Navigation panel of Maropost’s Identity app to the User Profile section.
By clicking on Update Password under the Security section, you can add a new password without entering the old credentials from the password reset page.
