An excellent authentication system
- I really appreciate the authorization via App which produces expiring codes, rather than sending via notification.
- We have implemented two management servers for [WatchGuard] Authpoint, but if the first goes down it is not immediate for the second to go up.

WatchGuard AuthPoint is a great MFA VPN service.

- Integration with Windows Active Directory for Authentication[.]
- None that I have ran into yet[.]
December 08, 2021
Secure you VPN with 2fa/mfa - home users need to be protected when accessing corporate resources.
- VPN 2fa/mfa secure login
- Single-Signon thru AuthPoint portal to other cloud apps
- On prem authentications using the AuthPoint MFA app.
- Some of our agings deployed firewalls require additional setups and AuthPoint is not fully baked into - but is not totally wrong in that new features require new hardware at times.
- While the setup process when knowledgeable of it is easy enough, I think some of the steps can pull you thru a little better thru the wizard. Overall though, the online KB and videos are extremely good.
- The MFA token is only sold in a 10 pack. Was wishing it can be purchased in single units as it now means we need to purchase single 3rd party tokens (only when a user does not want to use the free AuthPoint mobile app).
