We are continuously developing and improving SystoLOCK
Here is a list of upcoming updates. You can also suggest your own ideas using the form on this page
What we are working on
The below list is not a firm plan, but rather a set of ideas that are constantly evaluated, based on the needs, market and competition.

NFC Fast User Switching
Are you tired of seeing workstations that are always open in your medical institution? You won't have to be anymore. With NFC Fast User Switching, users will be able to instantly switch accounts without entering a password or PIN and log out with just a tap.

NFC support for web
You can already use NFC to log in to your workstation or server, but not to a web application or M356 account? This will change. You will be able to use the same cards for your web application as you do for desktops.
Authentication

FIDO support
Everyone wants to use FIDO tokens, and so do we. FIDO authentication will be seamlessly integrated into SystoLOCK as once were the smart cards. No Azure required.
Authentication

AD FS-independant SAML IdP
We understand you don't like to manage AD FS just to be able to use SystoLOCK SAML provider. While keeping the compatibility with AD FS, we will provide a way to have the IdP as a standalone application to simplify installations.
Infrastructure

ARM64-based Windows client
As ARM slowly enters the Windows world, we may need to port the SystoLOCK client to ARM.
Authentication

..2027
Fast Login (and ECDH) support for VPN, Offline, etc.
Want to use Fast Login in remote or disconnected scenarios? This feature will provide you the same seamless experience you know from online authentications.
Management

Companion policies
Always wanted to control Companion from the console? Good idea! This will allow central policing of various app aspects directly from the server-side.
Authentication

Password management for web logins
If you have legacy web applications or those SystoLOCK cannot control, your last resort is a password manager. You will be able to utilize SystoLOCK infrastructure to manage, use and share these password.
Management

..2027
Offline login policies
Offline login policies should control how and when offline-enabled computers are allowed to accept an offline login.
Management
..2027
..2027
OATH policies
OATH policies are all about lifetime and behavior of TOTP/HOTP tokens and self-configuration options.
Cryptography
..2027
..2027
OPAQUE/PAKE implementation for PIN storage
This feature is there to make PIN storage more secure by making use of modern cryptography.
Self-service
..2027
..2027
Recovery options for forgotten devices and PINs
We reduced help-desk calls by eliminating passwords. But now users might loose or forget their authentication devices. Let us help them by introducing recovery.
Authentication

Integration with LAPS
Now that LAPS is part of Windows, we can allow administrators to use its infrastructure and login as local users.
Authentication

PassKeys support
Actually is SystoLOCK Companion superior to a possible passkeys functionality. Once FIDO is implemented, we will re-evaluate the need for smartphone-based passkeys in SystoLOCK.
Authentication

Smartwatch controlled login
If we can use smartphones for logins, why don't extend this to smartwatches? Is there a demand for this?
Infrastructure

Mac Client (for domain-joined Macs)
Only an idea so far, with not enough market demand, this might change in the future. What do you think?
Authentication

More second factors support: biometric sensors?
Any detached identification can serve as an authentication factor. Which one is on your wish list?
Infrastructure
..Future

More remote clients support
Mac RDP client is currently NLA-exempt for SystoLOCK. And so are Linux clients. Once there is a bigger need for those, as well as for native Citrix receiver, we might roll them out.
Internals
..Future
..Future
.NET Core support
Many SystoLOCK components run on .Net Framework due to many Windows-induced dependencies. The future surely wants us to migrate to Core one day.
Management

Windows Admin Center support (if it stays alive)
Do you like SystoLOCK MMC? We do. But Microsoft wants everyone to write management shells for Admin Center. Wo don't. Not completely impossible, but an unlikely development we might undertake if necessary.
