VAT Return Authorisation Code Renewal

I am preparing a VAT return and I am being asked to sign up and give solar accounts permission and an authorisation code. However I have been using this method and have signed up from initial set up before march 2020?
is this an annual requirement?

Hi Robert,

Yes - unfortunately HMRC only issue authorisation codes which are valid for
a maximum of 18 months, so you will need to follow the steps to enter a new
authorisation code. If you don't see the list of steps to generate a new
HMRC authorisation code, please create a sharing code as described here
<https://www.solaraccounts.co.uk/help/how-to-share-financial-data-with-your-accountant>
and email it to me.
