PingID API - error message for edituser

Fixed STAGING-22791 PingID

When enabling version update notifications, we’ve added a 7-day grace period during which users are not notified of the requirement to upgrade to the latest version of PingID mobile app. This is to provide enough time for the new version to be added to the relevant app stores before users are notified of the requirement to upgrade to the latest version.

Improved FIDO2 (passkey) authentication when using Safari Browser

Improved PingID

We’ve improved the authentication experience for users authenticating with a Passkey device through a Safari browser. It is no longer necessary to trigger the authentication flow by clicking a Continue button. The flow is now triggered automatically. Learn more in Configuring FIDO2 authentication for PingID.

Improved PingID

The ​organization token ​field is now included in the PingID audit event information that is reported through the PingOne subscription facility.

Aggregate passkey devices per user during authentication

New PingID

We’ve added the ability to aggregate all FIDO2 devices associated with a user’s account during authentication. This simplifies authentication, as the user is presented with a single FIDO2 authentication method representing all of their paired FIDO2 devices, rather than seeing each device listed separately. If the user chooses to authenticate with the aggregated FIDO2 authentication method, the OS of the accessing device selects the most appropriate method for them to use to authenticate.

Learn more at Creating a FIDO policy in the PingOne Cloud Platform documentation.
