Approve/Deny button

Approve/Deny button should be side by side, currently place in vertical stack, I always get confused which one I clicked.

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback. V3 was a big design change and we implemented more of the IBM Carbon Design System. We think the outline button for "Deny" differentiates the actions visually. We'll pass your feedback onto the IBM Design team.

Don’t Update to 3.1.0

The app was fine until I updated it because the QR code function wasn’t working anymore, but now none of the profiles that transferred during the update work(profiles worked fine yesterday). Now I have to wait for my manager because to reset my credentials through my computer, I need to do 2-step verification lol. There’s nothing in the security tab in the app to connect an account. The documentation they provided in the app didn’t help at all. Updating was the worst mistake I made

Sorry you had some issues with the update. Despite what others have posted about their experience, updates to v3.1.0 have been by in large been successful. As for the Security tab, you should take that up with IBM Support.

Nice new UI

Some people really dislike the new user interface. As a Verify SaaS user, I think it perfectly complements user self-care experience. Good job IBM, haters are going to hate.

Update removed the best feature

The app used to be easy to use, allowing me to approve a verification request from my phone’s notifications or from my Apple Watch. I regret updating the app because now I can’t do either. Now, I have to open the app, swipe down to refresh the screen, wait for the verification request to appear, then finally click approve. This is all a complete waste of time when they had a feature that worked just fine.

My job requires me to regularly change my password, so now it’s a bigger headache to go through the new verification approval process for multiple devices. PLEASE UNDO THIS CHANGE.

Thanks for your amazing feedback. We had good reason to remove the Apple Watch approval feature when v3 was released, but it is coming in v3.1.0. Hopefully the improvements will change how you rated the app.

No more watch???

They took a great feature, approving from your apple watch and totally took it away. Now I have to take it my phone, go into the app, choose the correct account then click approve when I used to simply be able to just click approve on my watch. Who approved this "update"???
