These release notes cover changes to the Mendix Profile, Mendix Community, and other Mendix community tools.

2024

February 8, 2024

New Features

  • Deactivating and resetting your two-factor authentication (2FA) is now self-service. If you want to deactivate your 2FA, you can do this in your Developer Settings; previously, deactivating your 2FA required submitting a Mendix Support ticket. Deactivating your 2FA is the first step if you want to change your 2FA method, phone number, or authenticator app. For more information, see Changing Your Authentication Method.

Improvements

2021
