Account security, improved search, and other improvements

Over the last few months we’ve been hard at work on making Driverseat even better. Aside from many platform improvements, we’ve also relaunched our website, published a complete feature list, and began offering managed services such as copywriting, social media management, and paid search advertising.

Authentication got an upgrade

We’ve upgraded our authentication system to Clerk, delivering a smoother and more secure experience. Clerk is SOC-compliant, so your data is handled with industry-leading security standards. Here’s what’s new:

  • 2FA: Two-factor authentication for stronger account protection.

  • Manage active sessions: easily view and control all your logged-in devices.

  • Multiple verified emails: add and manage multiple verified emails for your account.

  • Passkey support: enjoy fast, secure login with passkeys.

This update makes logging in simpler while keeping your Driverseat account safer than ever.

Improvements

  • Enhanced search: you can now search the inventory by features (e.g. “sunroof” or “Apple CarPlay”) directly in the search input, not just with checkbox filters.

  • Page builder warning: added a confirmation alert when deleting a content row in the page builder to prevent accidental removals.

  • Reviews1: added a new row type (Reviews1) in the page builder, letting you showcase reviews from Google, AutoTrader, KBB, and cars.com, complete with total counts and star ratings.

  • Search1: added a new row type (Search1) to the page builder, allowing you to place an inventory search bar anywhere on your site.

  • Added support for Repuso reviews.

  • Added an optional setting to hide the search box in Hero5 (page builder).

  • Added an option to maintain aspect ratio on images in the CTA10 page builder row.

  • The FAQ page builder row now automatically generates Google schema JSON for better SEO and structured data compliance.

Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where sharing the inventory using the native iOS share sheet would clear applied filters.

  • Fixed an issue with the image Lightbox viewer on the VDP where the layout was sometimes broken on the first slide.

  • Fixed an issue where icons would render incorrectly in Hero4.

  • Fixed and issue where pasting an image into the text editor would cause an error.

  • Find an issue where it was sometimes impossible to change the SEO description of a homepage in the page builder.
