Global System Upgrades

The new features listed below are enhancements to the SmartSimple system and will be immediately available to SmartSimple users upon the application of the upgrade to their server:

Major Updates

Multi-Factor Authentication Enabled by Default

Main Article: Multi-Factor Authentication

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is enabled for all systems by default. If you have already turned on MFA in your SmartSimple Cloud system and have assigned roles to a single-use verification code sent by email, this enhancement will NOT change your existing settings. If you do not have MFA set up, we will be enabling single-use verification code by email for all users. This will be indicated by an 'Everyone' role in the setting called Roles with Verification Code via SMS and Email.

Time-based One-Time Password (TOTP) settings will NOT be affected. You will have the ability to adjust which roles are assigned.
