New email verification workflow, forgot password functionality, and AI now considers business sector for categorisation.

13 January 2025

## Verifying emails

The platform introduced an email verification workflow for sign-ups. Users must verify their email address before accessing the app through a verification link sent during registration.

## Other improvements

Improved categorisation — The AI categorization system now considers a client's business sector. For construction companies, purchases of materials are recognized as "Cost of Goods Sold" rather than generic expenses.
