Just a quick note to say that we've updated our 2-Factor Authentication process today (this is where you're texted or emailed a code, which you need to add before you can sign in to the TM online platform).

Previously, you needed to get a new code every time you logged in; we've now updated this so that you can 'trust this browser' for 15 days before you need to go through the 2FA process again.

This will make using the platform quicker and easier for customers, without compromising on security. Thank you to everyone who provided feedback on this! 💪🔐👊
