Desktop Login

What’s new

• Manual updates: Added support for manual updates starting in version 2.94.0. This feature mimics exactly the manual updates feature in the User install of the Beyond Identity Authenticator. Manual updates include the following features:

  • Windows Desktop Login will check to see if there are new updates on a regular basis. If there are updates, it will notify the user and they can choose to install the update or wait to be reminded again later.

  • The user can also invoke the Check for Updates menu option in the UI and it will inform the user about any updates it discovers.

  • An Administrator can control which version a user is allowed to update to in the Admin console under Settings > Authenticator Version Control. Windows Desktop Login already supports the Automatic option in this section, which updates the application automatically and silently. Version 2.94.0 of Windows Desktop Login leaves this feature unchanged and any Administrators who use that feature will be unaffected by this update.

  • However, as part of the 2.94.0 update, the Manual option in the Authenticator Version Control setting is now supported for Windows Desktop Login. Previously this was only supported in the Windows User install. The Manual option does the same thing as the Automatic option, except that the user is notified when there is an update available and can choose when to install it, instead of the update being immediate and silent.

  • If you want to disable the Manual Updates feature, please see the Manage Authenticator Updates article.
