Update
Users can log in, but performance is degraded. Users will likely see a message "Waiting for desktop.timefiler.com". The engineers are investigating why this service is taking a long time to respond, but it will and the user can then continue their session.

We'll continue to update until resolution. Thank you for your patience.
