Trust Your Devices Longer, and a Catalog That Finally Adds Up

Priya manages the settings for her company's Coeffection account, and most Mondays she opened her inbox to the same two questions. Why did Marcus have to re-verify his phone again, he swore he did that yesterday from the same laptop. And why did the new lighting fixtures show up under a different heading than everything else in the catalog. This week, both of those got easier to answer.

Fewer Prompts to Prove Who You Are

Two-factor authentication only works if people don't get so annoyed by it that they start looking for ways around it. Coeffection now lets admins set how long a device stays trusted before it asks for a verification code again, a single day for a team that wants tight security, a couple of weeks for a small office where everyone works from the same laptop every morning. Set it once in Users settings and it applies across the whole account, so nobody has to configure it person by person.

New accounts now come with two-factor turned on by default, so it isn't something a new admin has to remember to flip on during setup. And the settings themselves finally moved somewhere that makes sense. Require Two-Factor now lives right inside Users, next to the people it actually protects, instead of sitting off in a separate menu nobody thought to check. The broader System Settings page is easier to find too, so the handful of account-wide toggles that used to take a support ticket, or a lucky guess, are sitting in plain view.

Every change to the trusted-device window also gets its own entry in the audit log, so if someone tightens the setting or loosens it, there's a clear record of who made the change and when. Nobody has to take anyone's word for it, the log speaks for itself.

One Catalog, One Way to Sort It

The product catalog used to make people choose between two overlapping systems, Category and Family. They looked similar enough that most people assumed they were the same thing, and they weren't quite. A product could sit in one Category but a different Family, which meant a report built off one didn't line up with a report built off the other, and which dropdown you reached for depended on which screen you happened to be standing on.

Family is now the only axis. Category is gone from the catalog screens, so there's one dropdown, one filter, one way to browse products whether you're assembling a quote or checking margins on a pricing report. Nothing about quotes or invoices that already went out to customers changes, those numbers stay exactly as they were. What changes going forward is that adding a new product, or tracking down where an existing one lives, takes one decision instead of two, and the margin numbers people pull for a family finally match the products actually sitting in it.

Priya still gets Monday morning questions. They're just different questions now, and they take a lot less time to answer.
