Hi All, I'm late sending this out due to the hustle-and-bustle of end-of-quarter, but last week we shipped FxA train-83 to production with the following highlights:
* We've begun rolling out Phase 2 of our efforts to get more users to connect a mobile device. After verifying their account, 2.5% of users will now see the option to install Firefox on their mobile device by SMSing themselves a link. It's only available for the US and Canada for now while we test it out, but initial results show that people are indeed taking advantage of it. * Relatedly, Phase 1 our our mobile-device-connection efforts has graduated from "experiment" status to full-blown feature: the "connect another device" screen is now live by default for all users. * The "devices and apps" settings panel now shows web login sessions, meaning that there's now a single location where you can go to see all the things connected to your Firefox Account. * We fixed a subtle bug that was causing password reset links to never expire; they now correctly expire 1 hour after being sent. * We now keep a list of email addresses that are known to have bounced, or to have marked our previous emails of spam, and will refuse to send any further emails to those addresses. The hope is that this will help increase our sender reputation and ultimately our ability to get confirmation emails through to users who need them. * Our email-related metrics now include the domain (e.g. "gmail.com" or "aol.com") if it's one of a small list of the most popular email providers. This will help us pinpoint deliverability problems affecting only a single email provider, while keeping potential PII out of the logs. * We now log some basic metrics on the "send tab to device" feature when we see the push notification go through the FxA servers. This will help us determine whether the feature is a good driver of retention. * Support for passing a signed "preVerifyToken" during account creation has been removed. This was a holder from migrating verified users for the Firefox Marketplace and was no longer being used. * We landed support for deploying many of our services via docker and the cloudops "dockerflow" pipeline; future releases will migrate the actual deployment scripts over to use it. * Our various public keys now include a created-at timestamp, to allow Ops to monitor their freshness and trigger regular key rotations for added security. Special thanks go to the following community contributors, whose code shipped in this train: * Princi Vershwal, who improved the text and presentation of some of our more common error messages, and updated the UI for adding a display name to encourage more users to set one. * Heather Booker, who added a new error message to help users trashing around in their newsletter subscription settings, and fixed up the display of the newsletter opt-in checkbox on the signup form. * Sunakshi Tejwani, who fixed up an incorrect logging call in the content-server. Thanks for your contributions!
