PingID Administration Guide

February 2023

New features and improvements in PingID implemented in February 2023.

February 28

Number matching authentication method

New PingID

We’ve added the ability to authenticate by displaying a number on the user’s accessing device and prompting the user to select the corresponding number in PingID mobile app.

This feature is supported on PingID mobile app 1.34 and later.

If your policy includes number matching as the sole authentication method, users running PingID mobile app 1.33 or earlier will not be able to authenticate.

Number matching can only be used for web-based authentication requests. It should not be used for CLI and text-based authentication.

February 21

Limit push notifications rule

New PingID

To reduce the likelihood of a user acknowledging a malicious push notification as part of an MFA fatigue attack, we’ve added a new rule that enables you to limit the number of push notifications the user can receive within a given time period. This rule appears under PingID policy settings and is available for Web authentication only.

Versioning of PingID policies

Improved PingID

Policy collections are now assigned a version number to prevent policies from being modified simultaneously by multiple administrators. Each time the existing policies are modified, the version number is incremented. If the version number sent in an API request does not match the current version number, an error is returned. For details, see the documentation for the Web Authentication Policy API.

PingID language support

Improved PingID

PingID now supports the following additional languages:

  • Czech
