Rohos Logon roadmap for 2022-23
Here we would like to share the items from the product roadmap briefly.
Rohos Logon Key v.4.9
We are glad to announce Rohos Logon Key 4.9 with a new feature with an audit trail for 2FA configuration changes.
Advise to setting up the admin account for OTP 2FA in conjunction with Rohos and remote access
We would like to share some advice regarding two-factor authentication and its use with an admin account when logging into Windows RDP. If it is not enabled currently we would strongly advise setting up the admin account for additional OTP authentication in conjunction with Remote Desktop access and Rohos Logon Key. Let’s review the pros and possible side effects. Of course, it is highly recommended to use 2FA for the admin account, and it is definitely recommended rather than keeping it 1FA only. Just to remind you the default RDP login based on NLA credentials (user login and password in plain form stored in .rdp connection file) from the client side is quite vulnerable now since these credentials may be stolen and used by malware operators in an automated way – so the attack speed will be just 5-10 minutes. So today, the absence of additional authentication factors (2FA/MFA) is considered negligent. Even more, due to recent development in exploits and malware for the Windows operating system, desktop sessions created by regular user accounts also may be elevated to Admin Privileges in Domain or Active Directory (AD) with a high success rate depending on your defense type (Anti-virus type, EDR solutions, etc). So a variety of exploits for horizontal/lateral movement in AD are huge also. But of course, Admin’s accounts are always a special target for cyber-criminals and are traded as a high-price asset on the darknet. To summarise, definitely you need to start your cyber-security efforts in 2FA from some point, and admin accounts are the right starting point, highlighting you have a cyber-security strategy. Especially with Rohos, since it is very easy to start with and has a fixed one-time price. Read the rest of this entry »Rohos Logon Key for Mac OS X 12 Monterey

2FA bypass control in Rohos Logon Key 4.8
We are glad to announce Rohos Logon Key 4.8 with automated control over ‘2FA bypass scenarios’. The new experimental feature allows getting an immediate push notification on the smartphone when the 2FA procedure was avoided during login/unlock or reconnect to console or remote sessions. Because of well-known system vulnerabilities that allow RDP session hijacking, never-ending stories with 0-day exploits in RDP protocol or authentication system, unattended remote tools like TeamViewer or 2FA credentials theft during fishing or social engineering – all these lead to unpredictable threat models and risks.

We continue to improve Rohos Logon Key towards intelligent Multi-Factor Authentication decision framework. With new Rohos Logon Key 4.6. you can use multiple kind of authentication methods and devices in parallel.

Starting a pilot with a new authentication device was never such easy as now with Rohos Logon.
Rohos Logon Key for Mac OS Catalina
We are glad to report that Rohos Logon Key for Mac (v3.7) is compatible with macOS Catalina 10.15.2. We have added dark mode support and ensured authentication functionality for USB drive, Yubikey and Bluetooth devices as a key. Due to a few issues we make this release absolutely free.
Known issues:
- Typical credentials request dialog working before Rohos key login. Please click OK and then Rohos dialog will appear.

- Screensaver unlock window has a old-school style.
Now you can download and update to new version. We are working to fix all of the issues.
