"Love it since the first beta" 5/5 What do you like best about WatchGuard AuthPoint? First of all, I like the built-in 'MSP' approach option, that allows even the smallest shop without any tech knowledge, to get it implemented. Second - push notifications. I never liked typing TOTP passwords in the hurry, that they won't expire before I finish. AuthPoint Push notification takes that away, as users only have to press a confirm button - and in the end, it's even safer! TOTP doesn't tell you, that someone is just trying to log in to your device, while Push notifications will let you know it immediately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about WatchGuard AuthPoint? What I dislike is more on the side of authentication providers like Google, Linkedin and others - they only offer integration with SAML for business accounts, forcing you into TOTP for your personal accounts. Since the AuthPoint mobile app supports even these TOTP tokens, you don't need any additional TOTP app on your mobile device. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is WatchGuard AuthPoint solving and how is that benefiting you? Biggest benefit is the higher acceptance for MFA, since it removes the annoying typing of OTP passwords.
