Two-Step Verification
One of the main features included in the update is two-step verification for user accounts. This is a useful measure to make sure accounts are only accessed by those who have permission to do so. With this feature enabled, any time a user logs in to their account from an unrecognized device or browser they will be required to enter a one-time code sent to their registered email address as an added layer of security.
