New security update live.
Security is of the highest importance to us. Everyday we put a lot of effort in keeping up with the highest and most recent security standards.
A recent pen test (where we let our databases, API, admin and other sensitive infrastructure voluntarely get hacked) was succesfull - For us that is, a little less for the hackers ;-). Consequently only minimal adjustments have been suggested for further improvement.
Following 2 adjustments have direct impact on users:
- Auto log out after 2 weeks of inactivity: unlike before we will log you out not after 30d but after 14d of inactivity. Next time you use Accurat you'll have to log in again.
Tip: use Accurat every week to avoid being logged out ;-). - Password check (not for SAML / SSO users): From now on we will check more thoroughly the quality of a password. Users that created their own Accurat password will still be able to keep using the same password. When creating a new password your browser (we cannot read your password) will check if your password is strong enough before it is accepted.
Tip: if you doubt the quality of your password we suggest changing it here.
