Multi-Factor Authentication
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) enhances account security by requiring a second verification step during login. Currently, CodeNOW supports one-time passwords (OTPs) generated by trusted apps like Microsoft Authenticator, Google Authenticator, and FreeOTP.
Key Features:
- One-Time Password (OTP) Support: Add a dynamic layer of security with app-generated codes.
- Enhanced Account Protection: Prevent unauthorized access, even if passwords are compromised.
- Simple Integration: Seamlessly pair your account with supported authenticator apps.
Take your account security to the next level by enabling MFA today!
Disable scaffolders on account level
This feature allows account administrators to disable scaffolders for their entire account, providing greater control over development tools and workflows. By disabling scaffolders, administrators can streamline the tools available to their teams, enforce standardization, or prevent the use of unauthorized templates.
Key Features:
- Increased Control: Manage the availability of scaffolders to align with your organization’s policies.
- Streamlined Workflow: Ensure only approved templates and tools are accessible for project creation.
- Enhanced Security: Reduce the risk of introducing unverified scaffolders into your development process.
Enable this feature in account settings to customize the scaffolder experience for your organization.
Support GitHub Actions as a CI provider
CodeNOW now integrates seamlessly with GitHub Actions, making it a first-class citizen within the platform. This enhancement allows users to leverage GitHub Actions as their preferred continuous integration (CI) provider, enabling automated workflows, builds, and deployments directly within their GitHub repositories.
Key Features:
- Native Integration: Fully supported within CodeNOW for a seamless CI experience.
- Flexibility: Use GitHub Actions alongside existing CodeNOW tools to streamline development pipelines.
- Custom Workflows: Leverage GitHub Actions' extensive ecosystem to create tailored CI processes.
Start using GitHub Actions in CodeNOW to unlock a powerful and flexible approach to continuous integration and delivery.
Redesign handling secrets in CI pipelines
CodeNOW has redesigned its CI pipelines to improve the handling of variables and secrets. By default, all variables and secrets are now retrieved in the first task of the pipeline. These are then securely propagated to subsequent stages, ensuring consistent and secure access throughout the pipeline's execution.
Key Features:
- Centralized Secret Management: Simplifies the retrieval of secrets by consolidating the process in the initial task.
- Enhanced Security: Reduces the risk of exposing sensitive data by controlling access through a single, secure point.
- Improved Pipeline Consistency: Ensures all stages have access to the same set of variables and secrets.
This redesign optimizes workflows and strengthens security for CI pipelines, making them more efficient and reliable.
