"Authpoint enables users to use MFA principles easily on daily basis on platform-independent devices" 5/5 What do you like best about WatchGuard AuthPoint? Authpoint can be installed either on iPhones or Android devices. Its online and also offline authentication features enable users to login anywhere and anytime, regardless the internet connection in easy and convenient way. There is more than one authentication option - Push, QR Scan, One Time Password, from which any user can pick the one, that suites the most. What truly suprised me, was a swift time response of the application itself, ranging from 1-3 seconds, depending on connection and type of authentication. The token system and its dynamic management possibilities help the administrator to quickly manage and solve potencial issues with authentication. And the important advantage is that you can the App is tightly connected to a specific device, which mitigate potencial theft. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about WatchGuard AuthPoint? At first, there were some issues with first login via Authpoint into computers, because at first authentication attempt, the internet connection is always needed.
