Our new stable release comes with a long list of indexing and security-related improvements. Most notably, we've added support for 2-Factor Authentication (2FA) to protect your account in case someone gains access to your password. As all security-related changes had to be thoroughly tested, this is one of the updates that were longer in the making. We appreciate your patience while we've been working on this and would like to thank everyone involved! 🔐
