taxclinic Posted March 11, 2022 Report Share Posted March 11, 2022 CRA started two factor authentication and has given the option to not ask the for the verfication for next 8 hours by selecting the check box on the loging page. Ufile browser that opens for auto fill forgets that the authentication has been done and keeps asking for the authentication. Any fix for this.

taxclinic Posted March 11, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2022 ufile technical team please fix this, the browser edge in your app is resetting the login and multi factor authentication, We are community tax clinic and file hundred's of tax returns each year using ufile.

JohnA Posted March 18, 2022 Report Share Posted March 18, 2022 We have the same problem at our clinic. You say “don’t ask again for 8 hours” on the CRA site, but whatever they are storing in edge to remember that gets removed. I’m guessing UFile is clearing cookies after each autofill session, but I don’t know how to correct that behaviour. We use the passcode grid option, which is little faster than waiting for an sms. interestingly, using edge outside of UFile give the expected behaviour.. it doesn’t ask for 2fa for the rest of the day, even though edge within UFile on the same day, does.

JohnA Posted March 18, 2022 Report Share Posted March 18, 2022 I have found a work-around...it's a bit of a kluge though. Open uFile, start a return with anything you like. You can use all zeros for the sin but answer all the questions with a red * beside them because those are required. You can use made up data. Select "yes" for autofill, and "yes" for already filing the authorization, even though you haven't. There is no point in filing the authorization with fake data. It won't work. Next do the autofill. Sign in, and do the 2FA stuff. Be sure to click the button to not ask for the 2FA for the next 8 hours on this device. When you get past that, minimize the web browser window (click the little - in the top right corner). That brings you back to uFile and it's still waiting to do the autofill. Force close uFile (click the X in the top right) Leave that web browser window on the bottom of your screen and go ahead with a real tax return. You'll have to sign in as usual but it won't ask for 2FA for the next 8 hours. You might get a message that the CRA session has expired. That's OK, Just log in again. The minimized browser does not have to remain logged in, but don't close its window. Hope that helps, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted March 19, 2022 Report Share Posted March 19, 2022 (edited) Well today it worked without using that messy work-around I posted yesterday! ...very strange. Updated: nope, it still needs that kluge of a workaround. Edited March 21, 2022 by JohnA corrected previous comments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
degem Posted February 8 Report Share Posted February 8 Hello all, I tried this feature before Feb 6th only to learn that it was not available yet. Now I don't get the question to answer yes for autofill and there is no page for download my info in the navigation as per the documentation. Can any one tell me how to force ufile (web) to force a CRA autofill session. P.S. I have read about the 2FA and to set not to ask for next 8 hours. a warning like that on the interview page would be useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
