Touch App Enhancements

The following enhancement is available when you upgrade to the Touch app version 3.8.1:

Enhanced 2FA Workflow on iOS 15

Deltek Tracking: 1520142

Apple introduced a new built-in authenticator with the release of iOS 15, which allowed users to set up and use two-factor authentication (2FA) to sign into apps or websites without using third party authentication apps like Duo Mobile. Its release coincided with Touch 3.8 and at that time, if users upgraded their iOS devices to iOS 15, they can neither open their enrolled 2FA app nor the new Apple authenticator directly from Touch.

Starting with Touch 3.8.1, you can automatically enroll Apple Passwords, and Okta Verify on your iOS device with iOS 15. You can select either of the two from the new 2FA picker on the Set up a Two Factor Authentication (2FA) app screen. In addition, you can choose to manually enroll a different 2FA app that is not included in the picker using an activation code, or a QR code if your 2FA app is in another device. The 2FA app you successfully enroll is set as your preferred 2FA app in Touch.

When your 2FA PIN expires, you can select the following 2FA apps: Apple Passwords, Duo Mobile, Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, Okta Verify, or SecureAuth Authenticate from the new picker on the Your Two Factor Authentication PIN has expired screen. Likewise, the app you select when your 2FA PIN expires is set as your preferred 2FA app in Touch.

Note: For more information on the updated 2FA procedures, see the Using 2FA on iOS 15 (or higher) section of the Deltek Touch 3.8 for Maconomy 2.5.4 User Guide for iOS.
