After New Year\u2019s updates, the time has come for winter news! There are not a lot of them but all are related to the functions we described before so it is worthwhile to know them! Are you curious about what has changed? We come with answers \ud83d\ude09<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One-time passwords<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the previous post related to updates (if you have not read it, you must catch up by clicking HERE<\/a>) we wrote that owing to broadly understood security concerns, we changed how we provide access data to your students. As a consequence of those changes, one-time passwords have appeared. They were introduced to guarantee the best possible protection of students\u2019 data. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A one-time password is a password replaced after the first use for account access authorization. It appears in the Students – General<\/em> tab upon the creation of a new account. Having received the login data, a student logs in using the obtained data and immediately replaces the password with a new one of their choice. Owing to this, they have certainty nobody except them and people they shared the password with will have access to their profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do you provide the password to a student? And what if they forget the password to their account? You will learn everything you need to know from the guide HERE<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

An external SMTP server<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another new element that appeared on our Platform is the option to use our own, external SMTP server. Owing to this change, instead of mailing@langlion.com, system e-mails will be sent from your own authorized email address. Currently, this change concerns sending of access data, mailings, and sending of financial documents. After the change of e-mails appearance, this is another step towards resolutions of cases on undelivered messages or messages being trashed into spam. All of this aims to make the batch e-mails sent to your students reach their recipients. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mailing autocomplete<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While we are on the topic of mailing, it is also worthwhile to mention that now it suffices to write only once the sender\u2019s e-mail address and name, and during the next sending those data will be loaded automatically. Small but smart \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n

System history<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

New functions have also appeared in the system history. From now on, the core pieces of information visible in the system history will also include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
