At WithSecure, we continue to develop flexible but secure Elements portal access features.<\/p>\n

To get ready for the next stage we will change portal login flow to follow an ‘identity first’ model. The impact of this change is that email address and password are no longer given in a single transaction. <\/p>\n

Summary<\/strong><\/h2>\n

This is very common login flow model used today by many software vendors, for example Microsoft and Google, and we will also start to follow this flow starting 31 March 2024<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Future Design<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In the future, the email address (identity) will be asked first, and then authentication methods will be applied as separate steps.<\/p>\n

If Multi-Factor Authentication is configured for the account, there will be an additional dialog (example only, actual display depends on your MFA options):<\/p>\n

Please note<\/strong> that the use of MFA will become a mandatory step during the coming months. See our dedicated article<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
