v1.3.11 - Mar 3, 2022

The following changes are included in this release.

New Features

Next Identity Journeys

⭐ Passwordless Authentication

Users can now log in using biometric authentication— including fingerprint and face recognition—when the optional feature is enabled.

Next Identity API

⭐ Next Identity Salesforce Connect

Next Identity Salesforce Connect is a new Next Identity Marketplace add-on that lets you synchronize data from an identity provider into Salesforce. It receives Security Event Tokens (SETs), interprets the event data, retrieves the appropriate data from the source, and sends it to Salesforce, enabling your customer data to remain in sync between multiple systems.

⭐ OTP Developer Mode

The new developer mode for the /otp/send endpoint sends the PIN back in the API call response, instead of sending it to email or SMS.

Enhancements

Next Identity Journeys

⭐ Added rate limiting for verification code requests when the auth_type value is email

The rate limiting functionality is now implemented when verification codes are sent by email, preventing multiple verification code requests within a configured time duration.

⭐ Updated Google icon for social login

The Login screen has been updated to show the latest Google icon, replacing the deprecated Google Plus icon.

⭐ Skip two-factor authentication (2FA) when Passwordless Authentication is enabled

Users now can skip 2FA when they use biometric authentication, making the login process more convenient.

Next Identity API

⭐ Allowed /users/update call to receive a CSV

You can now manually update the lastUpdated parameter with the updated values, in CSV format, through an API call to the /users/update endpoint.

⭐ Removed user_id as a required parameter on the /logout endpoint

The user_id parameter is no longer required when you make an API call to the /logout endpoint.
