New Features and Enhancements

The following features and enhancements are available in this release:

Authenticators

• New functionality has been added that allows the macOS Authenticator to automatically sign source code Git commits once a GPG key has been generated.

• The Beyond Identity Authenticator for Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android have been enhanced with a new authentication dialog that is displayed when a user authenticates via a browser or application for the first time. The user is prompted to accept or deny the authentication request.

• The Beyond Identity Authenticator downloads page has a revised interface.

Policy

• Linux has been added as a platform that is now controllable via policy.

• The Device section of the Policy engine now requires users to select a platform (such as Windows or iOS) before choosing attributes. This allows users to write better policy rules because only attributes applicable to the selected platform will be available.

Resolved Issues

The macOS Authenticator now displays the correct encryption status when clicking the “About this credential” button. Previously, the Authenticator could not detect the encryption status.
