With this new release, the team at Centime has implemented modifications to its password guidelines as well as minor enhancements across the application to improve the in-app User experience.

Enhancements

Modifications to the password guidelines:

Centime routinely audits its Security policy to ensure compliance at all levels as required by regulators as well as other stakeholders. The modifications to the Password guidelines entail limiting the reuse of old passwords and the frequency of change.

Scope:

These modifications affect all new passwords set on the Centime application from 29th August 2022 onwards. Users who have not yet modified their existing passwords will not be affected immediately but will have to set their new passwords as per the new guidelines on expiration.

Modifications:

Expiry - Every password used by the User to log in to the Centime platform will be valid for 90 days from the date of password setup. Post this period, the User will be prompted to select a new password after successful login.

Login attempts - Users with valid email IDs will get 3 login attempts. After 3 consecutive failed login attempts, the account associated with the email ID will be locked for 30 mins, post which the User can try to log in again or recover/reset their password.

Password requirements - In addition to the previous requirement, Users will have to use a password that is different from their previous 5 passwords used to log in on the Centime platform. 

Fixes for R2.8:

i. User can now choose to define two new job functions ‘Analyzes company's collection efficiency’ & ‘Analyzes company's payables performance’ are that correspond to ‘ Monitor collection efficiency’ & ‘Monitor payables performance’ in the KPIs & Insights module respectively for their team members.

ii. In Manage Receivables, invoices under ‘Unpaid invoices’ will now be sorted according to the expected date.

iii. In Manage Receivables, for invoices paid via online payment, customers will automatically receive an email of the payment receipt. The email will be sent to the primary email address as specified by Centime client. For payments done via CentimePay - ACH and CentimePay - Card, ACH and Credit card will be shown as payment method respectively. Record of this communication will also be maintained under the customer history in Manage Receivables.
