We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:
Start by posting ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted and vote them if they matter to you.
To post a new idea - select "Add a new idea" and where asked select the appropriate category this idea relates to. Provide requested information to allow us to get a better understanding of your request.
Vote ideas that matter most to you.
Get feedback from the IBM team to refine your idea.
The IBM team may need your help to refine the ideas so they may ask for more information or feedback. The offering manager team will then decide if they can begin working on your idea. If they can start during the next development cycle, they will put the idea on the priority list. Each team at IBM works on a different schedule, where some ideas can be implemented right away, others may be placed on a different schedule.
Some ideas can be implemented at IBM, while others may not fit within the development plans for the product. In either case, the team will let you know as soon as possible. In some cases, we may be able to find alternatives for ideas which cannot be implemented in a reasonable time.

We are using 2 factor authentication to sign in to IBMs cloud. This is enabled both for the web ui and for the cli. Our team uses an authenticator app for the second factor.
This authentication setup requires re-authentication too often. I am unsure what the timeout is, but it seems to be as low as 15 minutes. This can mean having to re authenticate (enter in the 2 factor code from the app) dozens of times in a single day.
This request is to implement a method to reduce that. Weather it's a "trust this device" checkbox that only requires entering in the 2 factor token once every 30 days per device, increasing the 2 factor validity to 8 hours, or some other mechanism. Please reduce the need to re authenticate with 2 factor so often.
