MFA Window Extended
We are committed to continually improving your experience and security when accessing our systems. Based on your valuable feedback and our ongoing efforts to optimize our processes, we are making an important update to the Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) policy. We have decided to extend the verification window to 26 hours for users who choose the "remember this device" option.
What’s Changing?
The MFA window has been extended to 26 hours.
Why This Change?
- Reduced Frequency: By extending the MFA window, you will need to authenticate less frequently, thus reducing the interruptions to the user’s working day.
- User Convenience: A slightly longer MFA window provides more flexibility, especially for those working across varying schedules.
What You Need to Do:
You do not need to take any action. This change has been implemented automatically, and you will notice the new MFA window in effect from the specified date above.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we strive to enhance our security measures and your user experience.
