AuthPoint Release Notes
AuthPoint is WatchGuard's multi-factor authentication (MFA) service. With AuthPoint, you can require users to authenticate with a mobile app when they log in to a protected resource, such as a computer, VPN, or a cloud service or application. Because AuthPoint requires users to authenticate before they log in, data in your cloud applications and services is protected.
This page includes all AuthPoint release notes. To see release notes only for the AuthPoint agents, go to AuthPoint Agent Releases. To see release notes only for the AuthPoint mobile apps, go to AuthPoint Mobile App Releases.

Previous Releases
Enhancements
- Resolved an issue with Windows 11 24H2 (version 10.0.26100) that caused Microsoft 365 applications such as Word, Excel, and Microsoft Teams to fail to authenticate to their Authpoint federated Microsoft 365 domain. AuthPoint MFA now works with Microsoft 365 applications on this version of Windows. [AAAS-23584]
- Standardized AuthPoint UI messages. [AAAS-17565]
Enhancements
- Minor bug fixes and improvements. [AAAS-23574, AAAS-24348]
Enhancements
- The AuthPoint mobile app for Android has been updated to version 2.3.0. This update include minor bug fixes and improvements. With this update, the AuthPoint mobile app can no longer be used on emulators.
- Accounts with an AuthPoint Multi-Factor Authentication license no longer see the user management options to delete a password vault and reprovision a password vault. [AAAS-24034]
Enhancements
- Updated success and error messages. [AAAS-18068]
Enhancements
- The minimum synchronization interval for AuthPoint external identities is now one hour. This change removes the previous 15 minute and 30 minute synchronization interval options. The synchronization interval determines how often AuthPoint syncs users and groups from your LDAP or Entra ID database. Existing external identities that have the synchronization interval set to 15 minutes or 30 minutes will be automatically updated to sync every one hour. [AAAS-22836, AAAS-23007, AAAS-23008]
- Resolved an issue where multiple clicks on the options to resend the activation email and resend the set password email would trigger the action once for each click. These actions now only trigger once. [AAAS-21715]
- As a Service Provider, when you change accounts from the Users page in the AuthPoint management UI, the list of users now updates to display users from the selected account. [AAAS-23014]
- When you send a user inheritance request, the list of accounts now displays accounts in alphabetical order. [AAAS-23305]
- Minor bug fixes and improvements. [AAAS-20138]
New Features
AuthPoint Logon App (Agent for macOS) v2.0
The AuthPoint agent for macOS v2.0 is now publicly available. The new agent for macOS has been redesigned with a new, improved look and feel. The agent also 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 process for protected machines easier and more secure.
The updated agent also includes bug fixes and improvements.
Enhancements
- Minor bug fixes and improvements. [AAAS-23492, AAAS-23488]
New Features
AuthPoint Password Manager
AuthPoint operators can now delete and reprovision the password vault for Total Identity Security user accounts. You might do this if the user forgot their vault password and does not have their recovery key, or if the user no longer uses the AuthPoint password manager and they want to make sure their personal information is safe. Both options are available from the Users page in the AuthPoint management UI.
New Features
- When you set up the WatchGuard Cloud Directory and add non-MFA users without an AuthPoint license, you can now successfully navigate to the AuthPoint management UI and perform user management actions. [AAAS-23630]
- WatchGuard Cloud now generates an audit log when an AuthPoint user is automatically blocked. [AAAS-22340]
New Features
AuthPoint Logon App (Agent for macOS) (Beta)
The AuthPoint agent for macOS v2.0 is now available to beta test. The new agent for macOS has been redesigned with a new, improved look and feel. The updated agent also includes bug fixes and improvements.
To get started, join the WatchGuard Beta test community.
New Features
WatchGuard Cloud Directory
WatchGuard Cloud is centralizing user and group management in Directories and Domain Services (previously called Authentication Domains). As part of this change, you can now add WatchGuard Cloud-hosted users and groups to a new authentication domain called the WatchGuard Cloud Directory. Products in WatchGuard Cloud, such as AuthPoint, can use the users and groups that you add to the WatchGuard Cloud Directory.
When you add the WatchGuard Cloud Directory, your existing local AuthPoint users and groups automatically migrate to Directories and Domain Services in WatchGuard Cloud. This does not impact your AuthPoint configuration. You still view and manage the users and groups in AuthPoint.
We also added a new type of AuthPoint user account: non-MFA users. Non-MFA users are users that only authenticate with a password, such as a service account user. Non-MFA users do not consume an AuthPoint user license and cannot authenticate to resources that require MFA. They can only authenticate to protected resources if the non-MFA user account has a password only authentication policy for that resource. When you add new users to the WatchGuard Cloud Directory, you select whether to add non-MFA users or MFA users.
Enhancements

- The activation of new trade-up Fireboxes no longer removes the old Firebox from WatchGuard Cloud. If you have configured your old Firebox as a Firebox resource in AuthPoint, that resource now continues to work after the trade-up device is activated so that you have time to set up and configure your new Firebox before you retire the old Firebox. [ITPRD-6219]
