New DIGIPASS Gateway workflows

With this version, additional DIGIPASS Gateway workflows are supported. Accordingly, the following Mobile Authenticator Studio features are new or have been extended:

Known issues

(Issue MAS-5165) PIN no longer works after update on iOS

Description: When a PIN was set on a device that has a keyboard which includes foreign characters instead of digits, e.g. an Arabic keyboard, the PIN no longer works after updating Mobile Authenticator Studio.

Workaround: Mobile Authenticator Studio must be activated again to create a new PIN.

(Issue MAS-5670) No fallback PIN on iOS

Description: On iOS devices, when the user fails two consecutive attempts to provide the FaceID during authentication, the device prompts the user only to cancel the action and dismisses the activation flow.

Workaround: The user can take the following steps as a workaround of this issue:

  1. Retry the authentication and provide the correct biometric method.

  2. Disable the biometrics from the Settings menu and retry to authenticate with PIN.

  3. If biometric authentication has become locked, the user can authenticate with their fallback PIN.
