- September 2020:
- Improvements were made on the portal in aspects linked to the PIN policy, message handling, and Reset functionality. The PIN policy selection screen was moved to the process of activating the first administrator token. This prevents that a user group gets accidentally created without a defined PIN policy, if the browser is closed without selecting one after defining the administrators. Tokens that belong to a group with no defined PIN policy will receive the less restrictive policy the next time they are activated, reset, recovered or renewed.
More information here - SConnect 2.13 is now available from the SConnect installation page. This version is compatible with applications that support SConnect 2.10. This allows system administrators to plan the update to SConnect 2.13 for users who do not have the permission to install a new version of the extension themselves in the browser. The login process to the 3SKey portal will still install SConnect 2.10 if SConnect has not been installed before login. The login process to the 3SKey portal will be updated in November 2020.
More information here - An updated version of the MAC software is available, this corrects a driver support issue in MAC OS 10.15 Catalina.

- Mar 2020:
- SWIFT is closely monitoring the current sanitary situation and has sufficient capacity and stocks to fulfil token orders. We are communicating regularly with 3SKey distributing banks to ensure the continuity of the 3SKey tokens supply chain.
Please liaise directly with your 3SKey distributing banks for specific information about tokens shipping and orders. We recommend against ordering more tokens than is necessary as it would only create an artificial increase in demand and effort from your usual token provider.
For more information refer to https://www.swift.com/news-events/news/statement-on-covid-19-precautions.
