26.6 - June 2026

Release Notes 26.6 for June 2026

Summary

In 26.6 we've added the ability to poll via ICMP and Multi-Factor Authentication for those logging into Highlight.

ICMP Polling - Beta

This functionality is useful on those occasions when SNMP credentials are not available and straight-forward Ping only will suffice. Use a CSV file to upload IP addresses, with optional descriptions and locations. Highlight creates the locations and provides up/down status on the devices. You can alert and report on the availability of these devices.

Multi-Factor Authentication

In addition to providing a username and password, users now need a secondary authentication method to log in.

Users can link their Highlight account with an authenticator app like Microsoft Authenticator, Google Authenticator, 1Password, etc. The setup screens provide a QR code to do this or a manually entered key. There's an additional option to verify via email.

Existing users can choose Skip for now for a period of time. New users must enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA).

In subsequent logins, users will need to verify their account with a code.
