About this release
Configure exactly how users authenticate with multi-step MFA, including FIDO2 security keys. Administrators have full control over MFA flows for each location, with stronger authentication options for high-security environments.
Users can now configure their Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) factors directly in the desktop application at any time, even after enrolment. Admins can enforce stronger security without disrupting access, while users manage their authentication seamlessly.
The mobile client has also been redesigned, joining the rest of the refreshed Defguard family.
✨ What's new
- Multi-step configurable MFA methods
- Use FIDO2 hardware key as MFA factor - add it as a passkey in your profile, configure an MFA Flow with FIDO2 Security Key factor, assign it to your location and connect using the latest Desktop Client.
- Post-enrolment MFA configuration
- Bulk actions for Firewall module
- Handling multiple locations with DNS configuration connected simultaneously
- Ability to apply custom MTU to the client apps
- Allow configuring WireGuard interface metric on Windows
- Bulk action to put enrolment token in Active Directory for the auto-provisioning process
- Completely redesigned Mobile Client - try it out by joining our beta channels or by installing packages from the release assets (more details in the mobile release).
