New: WP Cerber now sends 2FA verification codes via SMTP. If an SMTP server is set up in the WP Cerber settings, it will be used to send these codes.
New: Implemented a backup method for sending emails via an SMTP server. If an attempt to send an email through the SMTP server fails, WP Cerber will resort to using the default WordPress mailer.
New: Email error reporting has been introduced. If an error occurs while WP Cerber is sending an email, the error details are captured and shown as a...
New: When [two-factor authentication](https://wpcerber.com/two-factor-authentication-for-wordpress/) is enabled, users can now optionally click a checkbox on the 2FA form to remember their devices for a predefined period of days. Available in the professional version of WP Cerber.
Improved: Enhanced details about generated 2FA PIN codes on the user profile page.
Improved: The tabs labeled "Role-based" and "Global" are now renamed to "Role Policies" and "Global Policies" respectively.

Fixed: An issue where you could not change the mode of two-factor authentication ([2FA](https://wpcerber.com/two-factor-authentication-for-wordpress/)) for a user if 2FA was previously enabled or completely disabled on the user profile page. This only happened if the license key for the professional version of WP Cerber had expired or was removed from a website.
Fixed: A bug that triggered a PHP fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: array_merge(): Argument #1 must be of type array, bool given in...
New: Introduced an admin tool that provides clear explanations of security events in WP Cerber logs and security settings WP Cerber applied in processing requests.
New: Implemented settings for configuring header-based exceptions for WP Cerber’s anti-spam and firewall.
Improved: A new activity log event, "Comment marked as spam", to simplify spam comment management and related plugin settings.
Improved: A new quick filter, "Spam Events" on the Activity tab. It helps admins to easily view all...
New: The integrity scanner now monitors installed plugins and notifies you if any have been abandoned, helping you maintain site security.
New: The integrity scanner also monitors for changes in plugin ownership and alerts you, so you can assess the new developer's credibility and make informed decisions.
Improved: The plugin settings interface now dynamically adapts to your specific web server environment, displaying only relevant options to streamline the configuration process.
Improved...
New: WP Cerber continuously monitors IP detection issues and provides diagnostic messages. If IP detection fails due to configuration or server settings, the details of the issue are displayed to assist in troubleshooting.
Improved: When valid proxy headers are missing, WP Cerber falls back to the standard $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] variable to extract IP addresses.
Improved: If the PHP constant [CERBER_IP_KEY](https://wpcerber.com/wordpress-ip-address-detection/) is configured but does not...
New: Dashboard widgets can now be rearranged using drag-and-drop, giving you full control over their placement.
New: Unused widgets can be disabled via the gear icon at the bottom of the page for a cleaner interface.
