Event:
2025-09-26 09:00:00
Expected Duration:
2025-09-26 09:15:00
Status:
Closed
Brief Description:
On Friday, September 26, from 9:00 to 9:15am, CIT will deploy a configuration policy to all managed Windows and macOS devices in the university fleet to ensure the Beyond Identity authenticator continues to work without changes to the user experience.
User Impact:
Current and new users of Secure Connect on managed devices will not be prompted to block or allow local network access specifically for the Beyond Identity application. The result is that users will be able to log in using passkeys without accidentally blocking themselves from doing so.

Users who do see the prompt, on personal or other devices, can follow these steps: https://it.cornell.edu/news/chrome-change-may-initiate-extra-steps.
Services Affected:
