New features
The following are the new features and improvements we released across the Cerby platform:
Start your passwordless journey with Cerby
Get ready to experience the next evolution of online security and convenience: passkeys have officially arrived in Cerby!
We're thrilled to introduce this passwordless authentication method for accessing your accounts. Using a combination of device and biometric authentication with the Cerby mobile app, your login becomes phishing-resistant and stronger against common cyber threats, and your experience gets smoother and effortless.
Figure 1 shows a sneak peek of the passkeys experience on mobile.

Want to give it a try? Take a look at the article Explore passkeys in Cerby, where we reference the supported operating systems and apps, as well as the instructions to create a passkey. This feature was released in the following versions of the Cerby mobile app: iOS v1.0.241 and Android v1.0.120.
Gain more control over your secrets
The wait is over! Based on your feedback, we've released significant improvements to the Secrets feature.
Now, you can create secrets with an expiration time between 1 to 30 days. When they expire, they are automatically deleted. The goal is to reduce manual cleanup efforts in the Cerby dashboard and enhance protection for your sensitive information. This feature is available when adding or editing a secret, as shown in Figure 2. For instructions, read the articles Add a secret and Edit a secret.

Additionally, as a secret Owner, you can turn on or off the identity confirmation challenge to view a secret anytime. Previously, you could only set up this configuration when adding a secret; now, you can also do it when editing a secret.
Cerby browser extension

Move the Length (words) slider to select the number of words in the passphrase.
Select other password strength options to make the passphrase more complex, if necessary.
Connecting your existing user accounts to a business hub just got easier, and you don’t even have to use the Cerby web app.
Whether you log in to your account through the app’s login page or the dashboard of your identity provider (IdP), such as Okta, the Cerby browser extension now displays a page where you can select any of your existing accounts to connect it to the business hub, as shown in Figure 4.Figure 4. Select an account to log in page
If you don’t have an account for the app, the No accounts saved for this business hub page is displayed or you are redirected to the app’s login page.
To enhance your future logins and avoid errors, autosaving your accounts with the Cerby browser extension is now more granular.
You can now select the corresponding app during an account autosave prompt when multiple accounts have the same domain, as shown in Figure 5. Cerby will remember your selection the next time you log in.

Fixes
Take note of the issues addressed and resolved by the Development team behind the Cerby platform:
The issue with assigning an Owner to an account saved in a local vault integrated with AWS KMS was fixed.
The issue with being unable to delete Cerby-managed phone numbers from accounts was fixed. Some users with numerous accounts encountered errors when trying to delete an associated Cerby-managed phone number.
Cerby web app
The issue with not loading accounts in the Add accounts to collection dialog box was fixed. Users encountered an infinite loading state when they had Owner access to numerous accounts.
The issue with not loading the account details page when a password was last rotated by a user outside a workspace (for example, the Cerby Technical Support team) was fixed. We now display in the account details page that the last password rotation was performed by Cerby.
The issue with displaying the email and phone number as required values in the account details page of social media accounts was fixed. Users were blocked from creating Cerby-managed email addresses and phone numbers, so they had to enter dummy values in the fields first.
The issue with incorrectly displaying the status of some MFA methods in the account details page was fixed.
The issue with searching for a nonexistent workspace member in the Members tab of the collection details page was fixed. The No results found message is now displayed and it doesn’t get stuck there.
The issue with displaying disabled business hubs as duplicates when using the search bar in the Business Hubs page was fixed. Now, we identify disabled business hubs with the “Disabled account” status.
The issue with the inconsistent status between business hub integrations in the Business Hubs page and the integration details page was fixed. In some cases, the “Up to date” status was displayed despite the value in the Last updated field was “Not synced.”
The issue with connecting two different service accounts to a business hub integration was fixed. The error occurred when a second integration Owner updated the service account. Now, when the service account is updated, the old account is disconnected from the integration automatically.
The issue with collection Collaborators being able to add subcollections to a collection was fixed.
The issue with not displaying an option to remove a host-guest partnership in the Partners page was fixed.
The issue with the link of an expired verification magic link was fixed. Instead of reloading the page, the link now redirects to an article with more information about the email magic link as MFA identity confirmation method.
The issue with displaying collections to which a user has the Collaborator role when adding a business hub to a collection was fixed. Only collections a user owns are now displayed.
The issue with not updating the role of a user after changing it in the Members tab of the collection details page was fixed.
The issue with incorrectly displaying the dialog box for sharing an account instead of a business hub was fixed. Users were able to share a business hub as an account if they clicked the Share icon right after loading the All accounts page or if the internet connection was slow.
The issue with a Team Admin being able to select the Remove from team option from the More options drop-down menu to remove themselves from a team was fixed.
The issue with the service account being incorrectly displayed in the Unmatched Users table of a business hub details page, instead of the Onboarded Users table, was fixed.
The issue with not preserving the filters in the All accounts page when navigating through other pages and returning to it was fixed.
The issue with displaying an empty page of assets in the business hub details page was fixed. We’ve optimized how we retrieve the assets to avoid timeouts.
Cerby API
The issue with retrieving custom roles as entitlements of an integration was fixed.
