A code from your email now guards your most sensitive changes

Before you create, rotate or revoke an API key, or pause or delete a Switchboard, Avox asks for a short code sent to your email.

October 8, 20261 min read

Some changes are hard to undo, so they now need a second, deliberate step. When you start one, we email you a short code. Each code works once, only for that change, and expires after 10 minutes.

If you get a code you didn't ask for, you can ignore the email: nothing changes without the code.
