Account Recovery for Two-Factor Authentication
|
When setting up two-factor authentication on your Instant On account, you will now be prompted to enter a recovery email address that can be used to sign in to your account, in case you experience trouble using the authenticator app. Once two-factor authentication is setup on your account, you also have the option to change the recovery email address for the account. |
The locked port and restricted network features are now exclusive. The same port cannot be locked and be dedicated to a restricted network at the same time. If a port has a such configuration, the locked port feature will take precedence. Additionally, some messages have been added in the UI to indicate the maximum limit for restricted wired networks is reached. |
