DEPRECATION NOTICE: Third-Party Cookies Authentication

Overview: Authentication by third-party cookies within Twinfinity and Projektstruktur has been deprecated. Users and administrators are encouraged to transition to token-based authentication. This change is in line with evolving web standards and best practices for enhanced security and user privacy.

Background:

In recent years, all major web browsers have been shifting away from supporting third-party cookies. This move is primarily due to concerns regarding user privacy and data tracking across websites. As a result, relying on third-party cookies for authentication or other critical functionalities is no longer a sustainable or secure method.

What This Means For You:

1. Immediate Action Needed: If you're currently using third-party cookies for authentication for own developed apps, extensions or integrations with Twinfinity and Projektstruktur, you should transition as soon as possible.

2. Assistance Available: For assistance in configuring the token-based authentication, please reach out to our service desk at servicedesk@projektstruktur.se. Our team is ready to guide you through the process, ensuring a smooth transition.

Benefits of Token-Based Authentication:

• Enhanced Security: Tokens provide a more secure and streamlined authentication process.

• Reduced Dependence: Unlike cookies, tokens are not reliant on browser support, making them a more future-proof solution.

• Improved User Experience: Token-based authentication often results in faster loading times and a smoother user experience.

Conclusion:

The deprecation of third-party cookie authentication is in line with industry trends focused on improved security and user privacy. It's crucial to take proactive measures and transition to token-based authentication to avoid any disruptions in accessing Twinfinity or Projektstruktur.
