Multi-factor authentication in the Control Panel has been introduced for non-365-Total-Protection customers. With this new functionality, administrators of these customers now have the option to configure multi-factor authentication for their own account. Multi-factor authentication in the Control Panel uses the TOTP protocol to generate a six-digit one-time password on a second device. The following functionalities are included in this release:
Administrators can manage multi-factor authentication for themselves and as an option for other users from their company (enabling/disabling multi-factor authentication for a domain, resetting multi-factor authentication for a mailbox etc.).
Users can optionally configure multi-factor authentication in self-service using a device and app of their choice (e. g., Microsoft Authenticator, Google Authenticator, browser plug-in).
Any changes in the configuration of multi-factor authentication can be traced in the “Auditing 2.0” module.
The mailbox overview in the “Mailboxes” module shows the configuration state for every mailbox.
The support email address that is displayed at the top of the Control Panel is now clickable. Users can directly open their email client to send an email to support.
When an administrator selects a different scope from the scope selection, a message is displayed that the navigation menu has changed according to the selected scope. The administrator can hide this message in the future.
Improvements
The date and time format selection now shows sample dates and times.
The synchronization of primary email addresses with Microsoft 365 has been improved.
An error while customizing the email template for a password reset has been fixed.
An error message in the “Groups” module has been improved.
