What’s new

Update content within the mid-level proofing journey to provide clearer guidance, enabling users to enter valid details and achieve a successful PDS match.

What’s new

Currently when a user is logging into a service using NHS login, they receive a One Time Passcode (OTP) to their registered telephone number which they input. At the bottom of this screen, beneath the enter OTP field, there is an option for the user to select to set 'Remember my Device’, so they don't have to receive an OTP each time they login.

We are moving the 'Remember my Device' option and guidance text to a new screen, which will be the screen after the user has entered their OTP. The functionality is exactly the same, it is the positioning of the functionality which is changing to help users see the Remember My Device option.

We’ve added a new essential cookie to support secure login. It’s set after you enter your username and password and helps complete two-factor authentication (a verification code, for example). This cookie is temporary and expires at the end of your session.
