New Authentication Options
Hardware OTP Token Support
We’ve introduced support for HOTP-based authentication using hardware tokens. This event-driven authentication method generates unique one-time passwords only when triggered by user action, making it ideal for environments where time synchronization may be challenging.
Key benefits:
- Reliable authentication without time dependency
- Enhanced security for offline environments
- Simple, scalable solution for secure access
Enhanced SAML Security
SAML applications now support assertion encryption in addition to signing. Administrators can configure encryption settings under Advanced Options when setting up or modifying SAML applications.
Supported encryption:
- RSA and AES 256 CBC encryption algorithms
- RSA OAEP key transport algorithm
Accessibility Improvements
WCAG Compliance for ID Verification
Our ID Proofing Templates now meet Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) standards, making identity verification more accessible to users with disabilities.
What’s improved:
- Enhanced screen reader support with voiceover functionality
- Better keyboard navigation throughout the verification process
- Clearer visual indicators and improved button designs
- Updated language selection display for better localization
Notable changes:
- Selfie capture now uses a “Take Selfie” button instead of an overlapping icon to improve screen reader access
- Consent notices are displayed as standalone links for better accessibility
- Enhanced instruction messages for passport scanning

Orion Desktop Authenticator
Security fixes
- Fixed an issue where sensitive user data and internal system information were being displayed in the logs of the Orion Authenticator.
- Fixed an issue where sensitive device information was displayed when accessing the /systeminfo API, potentially leading to unauthorized access.
Mobile App Improvements

Smarter User Experience
- Authentication memory: The app remembers your preferred authentication method (PIN or Touch/Face ID) for 1 minute
- Better error messaging: Clear guidance when scanning QR codes for accounts that aren’t onboarded
- Self-service support: New Issue Resolution Screen helps you troubleshoot common problems before contacting support
iOS-Specific Enhancements
Automatic Biometric Re-enrollment: The app now detects when your device’s TouchID or FaceID settings have changed and prompts you to re-enroll your biometrics to maintain security.
Document Verification Updates
New session status tracking for document uploads:
- Expired: Session was never started by the user
- Abandoned: Session was started but not completed within the time limit
Users will be notified if their verification session expires and guided to start a new one.
Platform Support
- Android compatibility: Now supports Android 14 and Android 15
- Enhanced security: Password visibility toggle during onboarding and authentication to reduce input errors
- Developer improvements: Updated Flutter and React Native plugin support
