Hello, I’m Nora, your AI guide from Technology Last Stop. This guide covers Sign-in recovery without resetting Verify. Use existing Microsoft, Google or password access and existing MFA registrations. Current availability: Encrypted same-account handoff implemented; hosted acceptance required.

Before you start. Your original approved account and a registered verification method.

Step 1. Start at /login on your intended portal. Use the same provider and account you normally use.

Step 2. If LastStop Verify appears, primary sign-in has reached the verification step. Approve with the original passkey or registered browser. Do not remove active registrations to troubleshoot an environment redirect.

Step 3. For Dev/QA, start at its own URL. The trusted identity handoff redirects to Production for sign-in when needed and returns you automatically with a 60-second encrypted, one-use grant bound to that browser request. No password, Verify key or production session cookie is sent to the test environment.

Step 4. The test environment synchronizes the approved production staff profile at sign-in and creates its own session for no more than eight hours. Sign in again after a production profile or environment-grant change. New-client requests in Dev/QA route to the Production intake form instead of showing a failed isolated submission.

Step 5. If the handoff fails, record the visible ENV reference and time, then retry once from the environment link. Support can distinguish missing cookie, expired state, rejected/tampered grant, response and storage errors without requesting credentials.

Now verify the result. Your existing Verify methods remain registered. The correct role and company appear after sign-in. A rejected or expired handoff never bypasses MFA.

If you get stuck. During a staged deployment, an older environment can still use the legacy back-channel. ENV-NETWORK identifies only that legacy path; the current encrypted grant does not require the environment server to call Production. Corporate browser policy, a new browser profile, provider access or a missing passkey can require a different recovery path.
