November 17, 2023 release - v.2023.2.0

Changes

Simplified sign-in
A simplified sign-in experience is now available through the Thomson Reuters Account. It provides all uses, including staff and clients, single sign-on access to Thomson Reuters products utilizing one email and password. Two-factor authentication is now required for all users, both staff and clients, to check your identity and to prevent your account from being compromised. It adds another layer of protection so your account safety relies on more than a simple password.
