Due to a problem with storage on our platform on January 2nd, some users may experience issues with receiving push notifications.
Fortunately, this can be easily resolved by restarting tiqr on your device, and subsequently logging in on services by scanning a QR code instead of relying on a push notification.
After a successful login, the push service will be restored. Our sincere apologies for the inconvenience!
We have received reports from users that tiqr crashes after upgrading to Android 9 (“Pie”). This is a very annoying Heisenbug (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heisenbug), as it was very hard to reproduce. It effected only some users, and it could not be related to specific phone models.
It turns out that Adroid 9 treats byte arrays differently from previous Android releases, which causes trouble when decoding these byte arrays into UTF-8 strings.
We have release a public beta that intends to solve these issues. You can sign up for testing the beta version here: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/org.tiqr.authenticator
privacyIDEA is a modular authentication system, and version 2.6 features a new module for tiqr authentication. Check out the docs, or have a look at the demo video.
In August 2015 SURFnet introduced SURFconext Strong Authentication which allows institutions in Dutch higher education and research to secure access to cloud-based services more effectively. Better security is particularly critical for cloud services handling more sensitive data. Tiqr is available as one of three authentication method besides SMS and YubiKey.

In May 2011 SURFnet hired Madison Gurkha to perform a security audit on the tiqr application for iOS and Android as well as for the server-side reference implementation. A report containing a summary of the findings of this security audit and details how the vulnerabilities that were identified in the security audit have been mitigated in the current tiqr release is now available. It includes a summary of the results of a re-audit performed by Madison Gurkha in September 2011 on the updated tiqr application and server-side reference implementation. The main conclusion of the report and the re-audit is that the security of tiqr is more than sufficient The report can be downloaded here |
