Currently, when you want to clear historical data, the system asks for your login details. It doesn't use multi-factor authentication (MFA). Enabling MFA can disrupt the system.
This issue will be fixed by a new confirmation method before deleting historical data. The new method will not require your usual login details, like your username and password. Two-level confirmation will be provided. This will help stop any data from being deleted by mistake.
This change will improve the user experience and streamline the process.
