XFA now supports screen lock timeout enforcement in addition to the existing screen lock enable/disable check.

Previously, XFA only verified whether screen lock was enabled on a device. Now, admins can also configure a maximum allowed timeout duration — and XFA will verify that the device's screen lock timeout is within that limit.

What's new:

• Admins can set a maximum screen lock timeout (in minutes) in their organization's policy
• XFA checks both that screen lock is enabled and that the configured timeout does not exceed the maximum
• Supports macOS, Windows, and Linux with platform-specific timeout detection
• The timeout check works alongside the existing enable/disable check — both must pass for the device to be compliant

This gives organizations tighter control over idle device security, ensuring employees cannot set excessively long timeouts that leave devices exposed.

Configure your policies

We've expanded our support to the following (browser-based) password managers:

• 1Password
• Avira Passwords
• Bitwarden
• Dashlane
• Dropbox Passwords
• Enpass
• LastPass
• NordPass
• PassBolt
• ProtonPass (Chrome & Firefox only)
• iCloud Passwords (macOS only)

We've added support in the desktop browser extension to detect installed password managers, to push the recommended practice of using a password manager to store unique passwords.

Note: The security check is not enabled by default, but can be enabled by the user (or by request of the organization).

2 new checks are now available:

• Check if antivirus software is installed and active to keep your device safe of malware
• Check if screenlock is enabled to prevent unauthorized users from accessing your device when you walk away
