Matrix.org Upgrading to Next-Gen Authentication

On April 7th, 2025, at 7 AM UTC, Matrix.org will migrate its authentication system to MAS (Matrix Authentication Service) for next-generation authentication. This will involve up to one hour of downtime but brings a revamped account management interface, improved security (credentials only visible to your server), and a better registration experience. The upgrade utilizes OAuth 2.0/OIDC and paves the way for features like QR code login, opening new possibilities for Matrix applications.
