Hi @K.Khan, as long as they're associated with Opti ID, they should work.

If I understand your post correctly, we are supposed to get invitations mail for Opti ID registration. But nobody in our organisation has gotten any emails about this. And as a consequence, we have 150+ developers who no longer can login.

How does this process work?
