macOS 26.2 Compatibility with AuthPoint Logon App for Mac

We’re excited to announce the general availability of Zero Trust Policies in the WatchGuard Cloud Platform! This new feature brings centralized, risk-based access control to products like AuthPoint and FireCloud, helping you strengthen security across your organization.

What is Zero Trust?

Zero Trust means no user or device is trusted by default. Access is granted only through policies based on risk and context. Key principles include:

• Deny by default
• Access by policy
• Risk-based verification
• Least privilege
• Continuous monitoring

What’s New in AuthPoint?

The policy interface is now part of WatchGuard Cloud’s shared configurations, and policy components are now called “Conditions” for easier reuse. Your previous existing policies will continue to be applied to the users authentications.

Get the Most Out of Zero Trust

Upgrade to the latest MFA Agents for Windows and Mac to unlock features like:

• Passwordless login with biometrics (Windows Hello, Mac TouchID)
• MFA for privilege elevation
• ThreatSync Core for detecting credential access threats

Enable ThreatSync Core – Credential Access to monitor, detect, and respond to credential access indicators of compromise.

Your AuthPoint IdP portal provides users with secure, one-click SSO access to their critical SAML applications. But what about other important resources like the company intranet, HR systems, or IT helpdesks?

Today, we're closing that gap. We are excited to announce Application Portal Links, a new feature that lets you add any web application link directly to the AuthPoint portal. This transforms your portal into a single, unified launchpad for your entire organization.

Why is this a game-changer?

• For Users: Ultimate Simplicity. One secure place to start the workday. Users log in once with MFA and find every tool they need, from SAML apps to standard web links. No more hunting for bookmarks means more productivity.
• For Admins: Centralized Control. Easily add, remove, and assign links to user groups directly from the AuthPoint management console. Onboard new users faster and ensure everyone has access to the correct, up-to-date resources.
• For Security: Reinforced Best Practices. By encouraging users to start from a trusted, MFA-protected portal, you reduce the risk of phishing and strengthen your overall security posture.

Adding a link is simple: just define a name, add an icon, paste the URL, assign it to a group and users will see it when they access the portal.

The Web Links feature is available now for all AuthPoint subscribers. Log in to WatchGuard Cloud to simplify your team’s workflow today.

We're thrilled to announce a significant upgrade to the AuthPoint MFA agent for Windows. This release focuses on delivering a completely redesigned user experience, showcasing a fresh, modern, and more intuitive interface for your multi-factor authentication (MFA) on Windows.

A Modernized Experience for Identity Security

The first thing you'll notice is the sleek, modernized user interface. By aligning the look and feel with our Agent for macOS, we've created a unified experience for workforce users, regardless of their operating system and device type. But this update is more than just a fresh coat of paint. It’s about enhancing your interaction with powerful identity security that has always been at the core of AuthPoint.

MFA You Can Rely On

This new, intuitive interface is the perfect gateway to the comprehensive security features you use every day to protect your organization. The MFA agent for Windows delivers:

• Windows Hello for Business Integration: Go passwordless with secure, phishing-resistant biometrics.
• Control Privilege Elevation: From RD Web Services to privileged system changes with MFA for Windows User Account Control (UAC) prompts.
• Furthermore, the agent’s integration with ThreatSync Core allows you to monitor, detect, and respond to credential access indicators, by feeding authentication data and events into a broader threat detection system.

Ready to Upgrade Your Windows Experience?

Whether you're a long-time user or new to AuthPoint, it's easy to get started with the newly redesigned agent.
