Important update: Enhanced security measures for account operations in Zoho Cliq

Important update: Enhanced security measures for account operations in Zoho Cliq

Greetings from the Zoho Cliq team!

We’d like to share an important security update that has an influence on some admin actions such as password reset, MFA reset, and MFA backup code generation.

What’s changing?  

With our latest security enhancements, these admin operations will now be allowed only for users who have at least one verified organization email domain.

Why this change?  

Previously, admins could reset passwords for users whose email domains were not verified within their organization. This created a potential risk, especially for users who may also belong to other companies as vendors or contractors, opening the door to possible account-takeover scenarios.

To protect all our users, we now ensure that sensitive actions can be performed only when the user’s domain is verified and registered to your organization.

What should you do?  

If you notice that certain admin actions are restricted for a user, please check whether their email domain is verified.

You can learn how to verify your organization’s domains by referring to our help documentation.

 Note: To verify a domain, your organization must own a registered domain (purchased through Zoho Mail or a third-party provider) and complete verification via Zoho Mail or Zoho Directory using a paid plan. Verified domains will then be recognized automatically in Zoho Cliq. 

If you have questions or need assistance, feel free to reach out. Your security and smooth experience remain our top priorities.

Best,
Shanthana Lakshmi S
Zoho Cliq Team

    • Changes in Cliq iOS app notification due to iOS 13 and Xcode 11

      Hello everyone! With the iOS 13 update, Apple has updated its policy on usage of VoIP push notifications. Over the past few months, we tried our best to provide a similar experience with the updated policy.  Changes in iOS 13:  With iOS 13, Apple mandates all VoIP push notifications to be reported to the CallKit framework as a new call. If a VoIP push notification is not reported to the CallKit within a designated time window, iOS will terminate the app. If enough VoIP push notifications are not
