Important Security Update: Deprecation of Auto Login Feature on Eventify
We are announcing an important security enhancement to the Eventify platform. After careful consideration and security audits, we have made the decision to sunset our existing Auto Login feature. This change reflects our ongoing commitment to protecting user data and maintaining the highest security standards for our community.
Why We're Making This Change
The deprecation of the Auto Login feature is driven by critical security considerations that affect the integrity of user accounts.
The Industry Security Standards Modern security best practices require multi-factor authentication and verified identity confirmation, which the legacy Auto Login feature does not adequately provide.
Data Protection Compliance: To align with evolving data protection regulations and privacy laws, we must implement more robust authentication mechanisms that verify user identity at each login attempt.
User Privacy Protection: Enhanced authentication protocols ensure that only authorized account holders can access their event information, attendee lists, and communication history.
What's Replacing Auto Login
We understand that convenience is important to you, which is why we've developed a secure yet user-friendly replacement system that maintains ease of access while dramatically improving security:
Email-Based OTP (One-Time Password)
Going forward, users will receive a unique, time-sensitive OTP directly to their registered email address. This ensures that only the legitimate account holder with access to their email can complete the login process.
Passwordless Auto Login via OTP Link
To preserve the seamless experience you've come to expect, we're introducing an enhanced Auto Login system powered by secure OTP technology. Here's how it works:
Upon initiating login, users will receive an email containing a secure, unique login link
Simply clicking this link provides instant access to the Eventify Portal—no passcode entry required
The system verifies your identity through email ownership, eliminating the risks associated with the previous Auto Login method
This approach combines the convenience of one-click access with enterprise-grade security, ensuring that your account remains protected while maintaining the effortless login experience.
The Benefits of This Change
This authentication system provides multiple advantages: enhanced protection against unauthorized access, compliance with modern security standards, peace of mind knowing your event data is secure, and maintained convenience through the passwordless link-based login system.
What You Need to Do
No immediate action is required from you. When you next log into Eventify, you'll automatically experience the new secure login flow. Simply check your email for the login link and click to access your account.
We appreciate your understanding as we implement these critical security improvements. If you have questions or concerns about this transition, please contact our support team.
