Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) Security 🔐
One of the most highly requested features is here! Now you can secure your Xano account with Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) Security. 2FA security requires the use of two different forms of identification to access and authenticate an account. It is an extra layer of security beyond email and password credentials that secures an account by requiring an authentication step from something that belongs to the user. This addition is yet another best practice supported by Xano to bulk data security.
You can enable 2FA security from the account page. You'll need an Authenticator App or Password Vault. To learn how to enable 2FA security please visit our documentation.
Stream ⚡
Introducing a new return type for the Query All Records function: Stream. Stream allows you to retrieve your database records in a memory-efficient way in order to be used in a For Each Loop. This allows you to avoid recursive workflows in order to transform or manipulate large datasets. Stream is only for use with For Each Loops. Returning a Query All Records function with a Stream return type will not produce any records in the result. See how to leverage Stream in the tutorial below!
Improved Loading for Large Workspaces 🚀
We started to notice loading issues in workspaces with lots of objects such as API endpoints, functions, Addons, and tasks. We made performance optimizations to improve the loading of large workspaces in order to keep you building efficiently. This is part of our commitment to breaking down as many barriers as possible in your backend development journey.

PRODUCT ENHANCEMENTS 🛠️
FEATURES
[New] Data Source Notice for Run & Debug on Tasks - Using Run & Debug in a background task will use the data source your workspace is currently set to. This can be confusing if the task is set to a different data source when scheduled. We added a notice to highlight if there is a different in data sources when utilizing the Run & Debug method.
[New] Null Values Treated as Empty Strings for Sprintf - Null values would generate an error when used as arguments in the sprintf filter. Now null values are automatically treated as empty text strings for this use case.
