Okay not to get all sappy or whatever but being trusted to write @NotionHQ's release notes has been the highlight of my career??

2-step verification, 2FA, MFA. Whatever you call it, it’s now available in Notion. Verify with:
🤳🏼 Phone number
📲 Authentication app
📂 Backup codes
Set up in Settings & members → My account!
ALT This GIF shows the login process on Notion’s desktop app, which now includes optional 2-step verification. This user has set up a phone number for 2-step verification, so after they enter their password, they are asked to provide a 6-digit verifixation code that was sent to their phone via text. They enter this code and successfully login to their Notion account.
It's fun to think about what Notion 3.0 might look like someday.
Notion 1.0 → Blocks
Notion 2.0 → Databases
Notion 3.0 → ?
I've always dreamt that 3.0 would be more than just a list of new features, but rather, a dramatic vibe shift. A step change in how you work.

This is Marketing in 2023.
What nobody talks about is the absolutely meteoric growth on Reddit from the r/notion community. Absolutely dwarfs any of the competitors, including more popular ones that might be more reddit-friendly like Airtable or Clickup.
Wonder how important Reddit was to Notion’s growth?

New for mobile: jump back in to recents!
Everything syncs — so you can seamlessly move from 💻 → 📱 on the go.
ALT This GIF shows the new “jump back in” feature on Notion’s mobile app. The user scrolls through 8 different recent pages and opens the “Homepage.” A pan over to the Notion desktop app shows the same page. When the user navigates to a different “To-Do List” page and makes edits in the desktop app, this is reflected on the mobile app in a seamless transition.
Introducing: repeating database templates! Use them to...
🖍 Set up recurring tasks
✏️ Generate regular project updates
🖌 Automatically create meeting agendas
ALT This GIF shows a Task database in Notion. The user opens the database template dropdown. They decide to make the "Release note" template repeat weekly on Tuesday and Thursdays. Then, they navigate to the calendar view, where the now-repeating "Release note" task populates every Tuesday and Thursday.
