Release notes through 2026-03-27

Admin Center
New

The options for team member session expiration now allow at most eight hours. The options for 10 hrs, 12 hrs, 24 hrs, one week, and two weeks have been removed. If you're currently using one of the removed options, you can continue using it. If you want to change the team member session expiration, you can only change it to eight hours or less.

Trials will continue to default to a two-week expiration, which is updated to a 60-minute default after converting to a paid account.

Fixed:

Verification for anonymous help center requests has been rolled out to pods 13, 15, 17, 18, 19, and 31 as scheduled on March 24.
On March 26, 2026, Zendesk updated the sign-in flow to check for expired passwords before prompting for two-factor authentication (2FA), enhancing security and simplifying the user experience.
