Hi all,
As mentioned here (and in an email to administrators), Voice now requires multi-factor authentication for login if you're a site administrator.
Please let me know at admin@e-voice.org.uk if you run into problems.
Thanks
Joe
Hi Joe
I appreciate the increase in security but I'm finding I'm having to use this every time I log in, I use the admin functions on PC and from my phone .
It's really a bit of a pain that it won't remember my devices.
Just a minir moan really as I greatly appreciate being able to host our site on this great platform !!

I've made a couple of changes to the MFA login:
- The code is now valid for 30 minutes (not just 10). This might help reduce stress if you're looking for a code that might have gone to a spam folder or similar.
- If you tick Remember Me when logging in, and then complete the MFA challenge, then it will remember that you've done that in that browser for six months.
The remembering is done by storing a cookie in the browser. And so:
- If you log out and log in again without ticking Remember Me then it'll require the MFA next time you log in.
- If you clear cookies in the browser (or use a different browser) then it'll require MFA.
Hopefully this improves the balance between security and convenience! I may tweak it again in future if the balance doesn't feel quite right.
(You can also ask Voicebot for more information about multi-factor authentication)
Thanks

I too find it a bit annoying, having to enter a code every time I login. The original concept was to remember the device being used the first time, which dosent seem to work.
i login using IPad, Phone & PC.
As Dave days it's just a minor inconvenience, but would be great if it could be resolved, please Joe.
