AuthPoint Agent Releases

New Features

• The agent for macOS has been redesigned with a new, improved look and feel.
• The agent now supports fingerprint authentication (users can authenticate with fingerprint in place of a password). You can also use fingerprint authentication for privilege elevation operations. Combined with AuthPoint MFA, this makes the login and authentication process for protected machines easier and more secure.

Enhancements

• Resolved an issue that caused Macs to show a black screen after users logged in. [AAAS-17905]
• Resolved an intermittent issue where some users were able to log in to protected computers with only a password (no MFA) after the computer woke from sleep. This issue also sometimes caused MFA to not work. [AAAS-18356]
• When a user authenticates with an incorrect token enough times for AuthPoint to block their token, the current QR code can no longer be used for authentication. [AAAS-23741]
• Minor bug fixes and improvements. [AAAS-22876]

Enhancements

New Features
