# Email OTP auth, redesigned sign-in popup and simplified card payment

*Version 1.323 – released 2026-08-13*

## Secure email OTP authentication

This feature allows store owners to implement secure email one-time password (OTP) authentication. It increases the security of customer accounts during the login process.

## Redesigned OTP sign-in popup

The OTP sign-in process has been redesigned to appear as a Shop-style anchored popup. This user-friendly approach enhances the checkout experience and can help reduce cart abandonment.

## Simplified single-card payment form

The payment process has been made more straightforward with a simplified single-card payment form. This change is designed to improve the customer experience and speed up transactions.
