# What's new in Sigma

> Sigma release notes for Dec 6, 2024: Mandatory two-factor authentication for accounts, set inactivity timeouts, and more.

## Admin

### Mandatory two-factor authentication for accounts

Starting December 11, 2024, two-factor authentication (2FA) via email will be enabled by default for all new and existing users that use password-based authentication. Users with SAML or OAuth authentication methods (without password options enabled) are not affected.

For more information, see [Mandatory two-factor authentication for accounts](https://help.sigmacomputing.com/docs/mandatory-two-factor-authentication-for-accounts).

### Set inactivity timeouts (GA)

You can now configure inactivity timeouts to ensure users are automatically logged out after a certain length of inactivity in the product.

For more information, see [Set up inactivity timeouts](https://help.sigmacomputing.com/docs/set-up-inactivity-timeouts).

## API

### New endpoint to get version tags for a workbook

The following endpoint to get the version tags assigned to a given workbook is now available:

* [Get version tags for a workbook](/reference/get-workbook-tags) (`GET /v2/workbooks/{workbookId}/tags`)

### New endpoint to delete a shared template

The following endpoint to delete a shared template is now available:

* [Delete a template share](/reference/delete-external-share) (`DELETE /v2/shared_templates/{shareId}`)

## Workbook elements

### Updated default data label settings for line and area charts

When formatting data labels for line and area charts, a new **Auto** option is the default. This option displays all non-overlapping labels. The **All** option displays all labels, even overlapping labels. Existing charts using the default option update to use the new **Auto** setting.

## Bug fixes

* For secure embeds signed with a JWT, the workbook owner's name and the rename, move, and delete options are now no longer displayed in the embed menu to users who do not have **Can edit** access to the workbook.
* All users with **Full explore** permissions can now access the **Templates** page.
* Users with access to the **Templates** page can now list and search all templates and sort templates by name, owner, or last updated date.
* When exporting a page or single element embed to PDF with a tag passed as part of the embed URL, the export now uses the tagged version as expected.
* Modify element actions now allow you to move or swap metrics on your table or chart.
