We are excited to announce a major upgrade to the authentication system for the Zezamii Open Locker Application, available on both iOS and Android platforms. This upgrade brings enhanced security, improved user experience, and a streamlined authentication process. Our goal is to make user interactions with our platform more efficient and secure.
Overview of Changes
The authentication upgrade focuses on several key areas: bulk user invites, individual user enrollment, deep linking for password management, enhanced email templates, and improved logging. These changes aim to simplify user authentication while providing robust security and better management tools.
Bulk User Invite and Individual User Enrollment
With this upgrade, administrators can now send bulk user invites and manage individual user enrollments more effectively. Each user will receive an email with a one-time password and will be required to change their password upon first login. This process ensures that all new users set their own secure passwords immediately, enhancing overall security.
Deep Linking for Password Management
We have implemented deep linking functionality within the Zezamii Open Locker Application on both iOS and Android. This feature allows users to manage their passwords more conveniently, whether they need to reset or set a new password. Deep linking ensures that users can access the necessary pages directly, streamlining the password management process.
Enhanced Email Templates
The upgrade includes new and clearer email templates that provide detailed instructions for user actions. Whether it's for initial enrollment, password resets, or other authentication-related activities, these templates ensure users receive all the information they need in a straightforward manner.
Improved Logging and Monitoring
To enhance security and support, we have significantly improved our logging and monitoring systems. All user authentication actions are now logged more comprehensively, allowing for better tracking and troubleshooting. This improvement ensures that any issues related to authentication can be quickly identified and resolved, providing a smoother experience for all users.
User Interface Updates
Several updates have been made to the user interface of the Zezamii Open Locker Application on both iOS and Android to support the new authentication system:
- Create Password Screen: Users will see a prompt to create a password if they are logging in for the first time.
- Profile Completion Prompt: New users will be required to complete their basic information upon first login.
- Profile Information Access: Users can now access and update their profile information directly from the settings section.
- Sidebar Picture Update: The sidebar will display the user’s profile picture, enhancing personalisation.
Zezamii Control Platform Integration
In addition to these updates, we are excited to announce the full integration of the Zezamii Open Locker Application with the Zezamii Control platform. This integration allows for more efficient management of locks and doors, providing users with a centralised platform to control and monitor access settings and permissions.
Conclusion
The authentication upgrade for the Zezamii Open Locker Application is a significant step forward in enhancing user security and experience. By simplifying the authentication process and providing robust management tools, we aim to ensure that all users can access our platform securely and efficiently, whether they are using iOS or Android devices. We encourage all users to explore the new features and provide feedback to help us continue improving the Zezamii Open Locker Application.
