# Product Update - July 1, 2024

## New Features & Enhancements

- **Upcoming Simplified Process for Onboarding Remote Users**: Users configured to authenticate with username & password or MFA, will be able to set their password (and MFA) during the [sign in process](/v1/docs/signing-in-to-the-cato-client) in the Cato Client.
  - This will replace users setting their password (and MFA) from an automatic activation email sent when a user is created. Admins can still enable a welcome email if required.
  - No impact to users that authenticate with SSO, or existing users that authenticate with username & password, or MFA.
  - [Gradual rollout](/v1/docs/new-simplified-process-for-onboarding-remote-users) starting July 14, 2024.

- **Cato Management Application Enhancement:** You can now edit the **Description** for a Socket from the [Administration > Socket Inventory page](/v1/docs/using-the-socket-assignment-page).
