**Short answer.** Gambling Soft platform release 2026.08 (August 2026) is a small maintenance release focused on operator access: "remember me" on the admin login is replaced by a long session so that two-factor authentication cannot be skipped, the domain role scope is taken from the employee account instead of the request host, and bridge clients get a personal link to their GGR balance. 4 changes.

## Release 2026.08 at a glance

| Area | Highlights |
| --- | --- |
| Admin access | Long session instead of "remember me"; role scope from the account |
| Bridges | Personal GGR balance page for bridge clients (public key per bridge) |
| Operations | Live logs excluded from version control |

## Admin access

- **Improved: two-factor authentication is mandatory.** The "remember me" option, which allowed a login without the second factor on a remembered browser, is removed. The convenience is kept through a longer session lifetime after a full login.

- **Fixed: domain role scope.** The scope of a domain-restricted role is derived from the employee account, not from the Host header of the request, so a crafted request cannot widen an operator's visibility.

## Bridges

- **New: GGR balance by personal link.** Each slot API bridge receives a public key (migration adds the column); the bridge client opens his GGR balance and journal by a personal link without an admin account.

## Operations

- **Improved:** live logs are excluded from version control, so deploys never carry payment data in the repository tree.

## Compatibility and upgrade notes

- Operators who relied on "remember me" will be asked for the second factor on the next login; the session then stays valid for the configured long period.

- Migration adds the public key column to slot API bridges.
