- Aug 6, 2026, 18:12 UTCpostmortem**Root Cause Analysis \(RCA\)** **Incident Summary:** On July 23rd, 2026, users across the UK, JP, and EU Production environments experienced intermittent login failures. The issue primarily affected users authenticating using Multi-Factor Authentication \(MFA\), resulting in temporary portal access issues. **Impact:** Temporarily impacted authentication and portal accessibility for affected users. **Root Cause:** The issue was related to transient instability within the authentication processing flow, which impacted the successful processing of a subset of login requests. This resulted in intermittent authentication failures for affected users until normal service processing was restored. **Resolution:** As an immediate mitigation, the affected authentication application components were recycled across the impacted regions to restore normal request processing. Following the recovery actions, authentication services stabilized and successful user login was validated. **Preventive Measures:** The following measures have been implemented to reduce the likelihood of recurrence: * Application monitoring has been reviewed to improve visibility into authentication service health and login processing. * Operational procedures have been updated to enable faster identification and recovery of authentication service interruptions.
