Security
If enabled, upon logging in the user will be prompted to validate their account with a code sent to their verified email address. If a user has not verified their email address, the system will prompt them to complete that process before the multi-factor step.
If the code sent via email is not entered within 10 minutes, the code will become invalid and the user will need to have a new verification code sent to complete MFA. This can be done from the MFA Code page. Additionally, once a code has been entered, the user’s account will be verified for 14 days. After which, the user will need to use a new MFA to login again.

Miscellaneous
Batch enroll nonlearners:
Users now have the ability to batch enroll nonlearners. Batch files for nonlearners must be a single file for each nonlearner role you wish to import (ie; a file for Teachers, a file for School Administrators, et cetera). Select the role you want to import the nonlearners into from the “Import As” dropdown from the Import File page.
Additionally, transfers will not be available for nonlearners during the batch enrollment process. If a user added in batch enroll has the same UserName as another nonlearner an error will appear in the Import Results table. The Importer will need to either create a new UserName for the duplicate user, or the Importer will need to investigate in User Admin if the nonlearner in the batch enroll has already been enrolled previously and should be transferred from within User Admin.

Known Issues
Chromebook Lockdown Browser issue:
Precondition: User is taking an assessment with Chromebook Lockdown Browser Extension
In Chromebook, when exiting an assessment (by clicking the x or clicking submit), the user is sometimes directed to the LDB Test page rather than the assessment landing page. To proceed, the user has to re-enter the WINCRS URL and login again.
The assessment successfully submits when clicking the submit button, and scores do come back.
