Some new features are going live this morning. It may take a couple days for them to propagate across all accounts, but we wanted to go ahead and let you know what to expect:
- Inbox Inspections are now free (yes, free) for customers on our monthly plans
- SMS security alerts: We’ll send you a TXT message whenever there’s a login, list download, API key generated, or some other trigger, within your account
- Detect new login location: You can force your account security question whenever we detect a login from a new IP address
- Two-factor authentication: We’re offering a free 2-factor authentication service so you can add an extra layer of protection to your account.
Hey, great updates!
When will the Two-factor authentication be going live? In the next few days?
Yes, if all goes well.
Can you use UK mobile phone numbers for notifications?
For now, the SMS alerts are for US and Canada mobile numbers only. Meantime, you can enable the email notifications.
Also be sure to look into AlterEgo:
