Version 3.14 of privacyIDEA introduces the following new features:

Conditional Access: Automated protection against suspicious login attempts

With Conditional Access, privacyIDEA 3.14 introduces an additional security layer that allows administrators to monitor individual login behavior and define automated responses. Depending on the configuration, user accounts can be locked for a specified period, requests from certain IP addresses can be blocked, or notifications can be sent to affected accounts. A dedicated authentication log provides precise error details and shows how often a user has attempted to log in. Administrators define which events within a given time window trigger which actions – enabling early detection of suspicious login attempts and helping to limit potential attacks.

Remember-Me Feature: Reduced second-factor prompts on known devices

The new Remember-Me feature allows users to enter their second factor only once within a defined period on known devices, rather than at every login. This reduces repeated second-factor prompts and simplifies the daily login experience. A prerequisite is a successfully completed multi-factor authentication beforehand. Administrators can enable the feature via policy and set the desired validity period. Users decide for themselves whether to save a device. Saved devices are visible to administrators and can be revoked at any time.

New WebUI as the default interface

From version 3.14 onwards, the new WebUI is the default interface of privacyIDEA. It offers both administrators and helpdesk users a customizable dashboard with a central overview of deployed tokens as well as all components and subscriptions in use. In addition, the new WebUI displays the certificate status of connected systems, providing an at-a-glance view of whether communication with systems connected to privacyIDEA is running smoothly. Features such as Conditional Access are exclusively available in the new WebUI.

The full list of new features in version 3.14 is available in the Changelog on GitHub.

Availability

The new version 3.14 of privacyIDEA is now available via the Python Package Index as well as in the community repositories for Ubuntu 22.04, 24.04 and 26.04.

Important note regarding updates

Should you use privacyIDEA in a productive environment, we recommend waiting for the Enterprise Release 3.14.1, which will follow in a few weeks, before updating your system.

Version 3.14 can already be used in your test environments.

Kassel, 07.04.2026 – The latest version 3.13 of multi-factor authentication software privacyIDEA is available. The most significant new feature is the expanded support for passkeys. As a result, users can now register passkeys on Windows and Linux. Support for the RADIUS protocol has been improved for the push token. Visually, the new WebUI is now available as a beta version.

Passkey registration during sign-in with offline functionality

With version 3.13, users in Windows and Linux environments can register a passkey directly during the login process. This passkey is then available for offline authentication on the corresponding device. Administrators can control this process specifically through policies. The advantage lies in a significantly simplified rollout process: Neither administrators nor help desk users need to be actively involved in the deployment process. This makes the introduction of new tokens less subject to errors and requires less support, while offering greater comfort for users.

Push authentication with code-based authentication for RADIUS

A new policy improves the use of push tokens in RADIUS-based scenarios such as VPNs or firewalls. The user confirms the login on their smartphone and then enters a numeric code displayed in the app into the login screen. This ensures that the user is directly involved in the login process. At the same time, the authentication is cryptographically secured and offers a significant security advantage over TOTP-based methods.

Beta version of the new WebUI is now available

The modernized user interface of privacyIDEA is now available in its full functionality as a beta version. In addition to the existing self-service area, it also includes the administrator view. In version 3.13, however, the previous WebUI remains the default interface. Users can test the new user interface and provide feedback. In version 3.14, the new WebUI will then be activated as the default interface.

All other changes are listed in detail in the changelog on GitHub. All components of privacyIDEA are also being further developed there under the leadership of NetKnights GmbH as open-source software under the AGPLv3.

Availability

The new version 3.13 of privacyIDEA is now available via the Python Package Index and in the community repositories for Ubuntu 22.04 and 24.04.

Kassel, 9 September 2025 – IT security company NetKnights has released version 3.12 of its open-source multi-factor authentication solution privacyIDEA. The new version integrates a user resolver for Entra ID and Keycloak. For the first time, users can get a preview of the fundamentally redesigned WebUI. Enhanced smartphone container functions enable efficient token management.

User Resolver for Entra ID and Keycloak

privacyIDEA 3.12 introduces user resolvers for Entra ID and Keycloak. Administrators can retrieve user data directly from these directory services and assign tokens to them in privacyIDEA. This enables seamless token management, even in hybrid infrastructures consisting of on-premises and cloud environments.

Preview of modernised WebUI

The privacyIDEA user interface is being extensively modernised and will be available from version 3.13 . Version 3.12 offers a preview function of the new WebUI for user self-service and the administrator view. This provides a preview of the improved token overview, which allows tokens to be managed more efficiently. Users can test the new interface and provide feedback; based on this, the new WebUI’s user-friendliness will be further refined.

Enhanced Smartphone Container Functions

The smartphone container functions were expanded in version 3.12. Containers can be rolled out during authentication. Additionally, smartphone containers can be rolled out using the password of the user store as a registration code – in combination with the Authenticator app from version 4.6.0 onwards. This secures the rollout process without requiring an additional password.

Policy and Condition Improvements

Numerous improvements have been made to existing policies to enable more precise configuration. In addition, new conditions have been added and their handling has been refined.

Version 3.12 of privacyIDEA lays a modernised, future-oriented foundation for upcoming releases and prepares the software both technically and conceptually for the next development steps.

All other changes are listed in detail in the Changelog on GitHub. At this point, all components of privacyIDEA are also being further developed as open source software under the AGPLv3 under the leadership of NetKnights GmbH.

Availability

The new version 3.12 of privacyIDEA is now available via the Python Package Index and in the community repositories for Ubuntu 22.04 and 24.04.
