Description
Improved OTP authentication experience for users
Users now have the option include their OTP code after their username, separated with a comma. Users can see and verify the OTP code that they type when it is included with the username instead of the password. For example, the user can type “janedoe,555123” (no spaces) when authenticating.
Improved user experience on
iOS
 devices
If the device cannot send the confirmation response to UEM (for example, because of poor connectivity), the
BlackBerry UEM Client
 now suggests alternative
2FA
 solutions that are available to the user.
This requires
BlackBerry UEM
 version 12.10 and a version of
BlackBerry UEM Client
 for
iOS
 later than 12.38.2127.
