Browser verification is a security feature in DF Studio designed to prevent unauthorized users from accessing an account with misappropriated credentials. To safeguard against unauthorized access, this feature requires manual verification from the user account’s primary email address each time the account is accessed from a web browser that has not been previously verified.

New Browser Verification

The first time a DF Studio account is accessed from a new/unverified browser, a “Browser Verification” code will be required. A notification containing the verification code is sent to the email address associated with the account. Once the verification code has been entered, the browser is verified for future use with the account. (This step will be repeated with the same browser if the browser cache or cookies are cleared.)

Browser Verification Alert

A verification email is sent when a new code is required. The Browser Verification code is valid for one hour; a new code can be generated by logging in to the DF Studio account again.

If a verification email is received when no authorized users are accessing the account, this indicates a likelihood that an unauthorized person has attempted to log in with the correct credentials using a new/unverified browser. (Access will not be possible without the verification code, but changing the account password would prevent further attempts.)

Browser Verification Settings

While it is highly recommended to keep strict Browser Verification feature enabled for all authentication attempts, the functionality can be modified by following the “Security Settings” link on the Settings page.

Select the “Basic” option to disable the Browser Verification feature for most authentication attempts. Note that Browser Verification codes may still be required in specific situations, if DF Studio’s security framework flags irregular circumstances.

Users may view and manage browsers that have been verified for use with their accounts by clicking the “View verified browsers” button in the Security Settings view, or by following the “Verified Browsers” link in the Account Settings section of the main Settings screen. For Account Admin users, this list will display verified browsers for all users of the DF Studio account.
