Email Multi-Factor Authentication for Admins and Agents
We're excited to announce the introduction of email authentication as the default security measure for accounts not already utilizing two-factor authentication (2FA) or SSO-based logins. This update represents a significant step in our ongoing commitment to protect your data and maintain a secure platform. Should you have 2FA or SSO currently enabled, nothing changes for you at this time and email based Multi-Factor Authentication will only be activated if you disable these features in the future.
Furthermore, we wish to remind our users that two-factor authentication (2FA) has been and continues to be available across all plan types. We strongly encourage administrators to enable 2FA, providing an extra layer of security that enhances the simplicity and effectiveness of email authentication. These improvements are designed to offer you comprehensive security and peace of mind in a straightforward manner.

Associate categories to contacts who view other contactβs tickets
Agents can now restrict a contact (with view all tickets permission) from viewing certain category tickets created by other contact group members. Only the ticket categories chosen by the agent in the agent portal will be displayed to the contact with View All Tickets permission in the contact portal.
For example, there could be categories related to HR, Finance, Insurance and so on, that are confidential to a contact. These tickets should not be visible to other contacts even though some other contact has the View All Tickets permission enabled in the Contact group.
