What’s New? Two New Features!
The TOTECS Platform Release 13.01 and 13.02 brings two new features that will change the current dynamics of your eCommerce business. These new features are:

• 2 Factor Authentication for User Login using SMS: When a user logs into a TOTECS project from a User Login content managed web page area, there is now the ability to authenticate the user using both the login ID and password, as well as a separate 1-time-use code sent to their mobile phone via SMS. This two-factor authentication code helps ensure that the user is in possession of an authorised mobile phone, reducing the ability for users to share account credentials which can allow others to easily gain access to the project's data.

Click on the video below to learn how 2 Factor Authentication can be turned on to provide additional security when users login to a website hosted on TOTECS Platform

• Currency Exchange Rates Connector Data Import: Within the Administration Centre, under the Data menu, within the Data Imports interface, under the Connector Imports tab, a new data import labelled "Currency Exchange Rates" has been added. This data import will call the project's configured Connector software to have its Currency Exchange Rates adaptor data export that will retrieve the currency exchange rates from its data source. The data import will then update the exchange rate for all currencies that have been provided in the data.

Click on the video below to see how currency exchange rates can be imported from external currency exchange rates websites and banks from the Connector software.

You can learn in detail about these new features on our TOTECS YouTube Channel, if you have any queries regarding the new features, feel free to post it on TOTECS Forums.

Cheers!
