May 1, 2026Month: 2026-05 Overview: Focused on delivering policy-driven UX improvements for push authentication in privacyidea/privacyidea, with a policy engine enhancement that enables per-token-type messaging and policy-based default push notifications. This work lays groundwork for more granular user experiences and better alignment with security policies, while preserving existing push flows. Key outcomes: - Business value: improved user experience for push vs. OTP, reduced support overhead through clearer, policy-driven messaging, and stronger policy compliance. - Scope: policy-based messaging for push, including per-token-type challenges and differentiated default messages depending on token characteristics (e.g., code_to_phone). - Impact: groundwork for future localization and broader policy-driven UX customization, enabling targeted communications without changing core authentication logic.
