Release 25.01.2
Date: 2/3/2025
LinkLive MultiFactor Authentication (MFA)
This release includes the ability for LinkLive.app and LinkLive Mobile users to use MultiFactor Authentication (MFA) using third party authenticator products such as Microsoft or Google Authenticator. The ability to use MFA with these products is controlled by a user profile setting in LinkLive Admin and is defaulted to disabled. Note that LinkLive does not provide the third party authenticator products. Users will need to download the chosen authenticator app.
Setup LinkLive with MFA authenticator app
Once MFA is activated for a user’s profile, users will need to setup LinkLive with their authenticator app. On first login after activation, users will enter their username and password, click on the Sign Me In button and be presented with the MFA authenticator screen below. Users will either copy the secret or use the QR code from their mobile device to enter the secret into the authenticator app. The authenticator app will generate a code that is entered into the ‘Enter MFA code from authenticator app’ field to sign in to LinkLive.
Note that some organizations may choose for MFA authentication to be a user opt-in rather than required. In that case, the user will see a Cancel button on the MFA authenticator screen and the user can Cancel to proceed without setting up MFA. The user will need to hit the Cancel button on each signin to LinkLive
Signing in to LinkLive with MFA
On subsequent logins to LinkLive, users will enter their username and password, click SignIn and be presented with the MFA authenticator screen. The QR code and Copy Secret are no longer present because the user has already setup LinkLive with their authenticator app. To sign in to LinkLive, users will access their authenticator app and enter the authenticator code into LinkLive. Note that users will need to enter the authenticator code on every sign in, including users signing into LinkLive Mobile with FaceID.
This release also includes numerous performance and bug fix updates.
