Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### Does Svix support multi-factor authentication for account logins? Yes, Svix added multi-factor authentication (MFA) support that account owners can enable from the dashboard settings page. MFA, also known as two-factor authentication when only two factors are used, protects against phishing, social engineering, and password brute-force attacks by adding a second verification step beyond a password. _Track security feature rollouts like MFA support across the tools you rely on with daily.dev._ ### Do the Svix client libraries automatically retry failed requests on network errors? Yes, Svix libraries include a built-in automatic retry mechanism that transparently recovers from transient network errors like lost packets. Developers get this behavior by updating to the latest version of any Svix library, with no additional code changes required to benefit from the retries. _Developers upgrading webhook or API client libraries check changelogs like this on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Svix SDKs and CLI v2 released](https://daily.dev/posts/svix-sdks-and-cli-v2-released-vmkfe9obm) · Svix Blog · 5 upvotes · 0 comments - [Svix Changelog September 2026](https://daily.dev/posts/svix-changelog-september-2026-zrvha2knm) · Svix Blog · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [What's New in Kurrent Cloud \(August 2026\)](https://daily.dev/posts/what-s-new-in-kurrent-cloud-august-2026--xuifdo4ql) · Event Store · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#security](https://daily.dev/tags/security), [#architecture](https://daily.dev/tags/architecture), [#authentication](https://daily.dev/tags/authentication) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/svix-update-august-2021-rwzpdjr17) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Svix Update August 2021","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/svix-update-august-2021-rwzpdjr17","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/svix-update-august-2021-rwzpdjr17"},"datePublished":"2026-08-23T07:20:31.331Z","dateModified":"2026-08-23T07:23:26.760Z","description":"Svix's monthly update covers new MFA support for account security, automatic retry mechanisms added to its client libraries, improvements to the open-source...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/3596d0063919c7aeabab15a5ae62c4cd?_a=AQAEuop","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/3596d0063919c7aeabab15a5ae62c4cd?_a=AQAEuop","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"Svix Blog","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Svix Blog","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/s--Shf9MlOr--/f_auto,q_auto/v1787469609/logos/svix?_a=BAMAMicg0","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/svix"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/svix-update-august-2021-rwzpdjr17","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":0},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"security,architecture,authentication","timeRequired":"PT4M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Svix Blog","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/svix"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Svix Update August 2021"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/svix-update-august-2021-rwzpdjr17#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"Does Svix support multi-factor authentication for account logins?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Yes, Svix added multi-factor authentication (MFA) support that account owners can enable from the dashboard settings page.
