Applies To

Platform: Android and iOS
Article Summary

RSA Authenticator 4.3 for iOS and Android will contain two new features:

1. New Name and Design for App:

  • The app icon is changing, from logo_securid.pngto logo_rsa.png . 
  • To ease the transition for users, and to make sure that all are formally aware of this change, RSA has put in place the following mechanism:
    • V4.3 of the app will be published on App Stores using the 'old' iconJCLaurent_3-1685028438763.png
    • At installation, V4.3 will appear with the 'old' icon JCLaurent_4-1685028438763.png
    • However, at launch time, the user will be presented with a screen explaining RSA is changing the app icon showing the old Icon and the new icon.
    • Once this notice is acknowledged by the user, the app Icon will be programmatically changed/modified seamlessly, and the app will appear on the device home screen with the new icon.

2. Code Matching:

Cloud Administrators will have access to additional configuration options that enable the inclusion of Code Matching functionality for Approve push notifications.

Note: Code Matching is currently only available for Approve push notifications. However, support for Biometric push notifications will be implemented at a later time.                                                            


This functionality involves a two-step process: first, a code is added to the Authentication interface, and then users are prompted to enter or select this code when they receive a notification on their Mobile Authenticator in order to approve the push notification.
