authentik version 2026.2 is here!

Authentik, an open-source identity provider, has released its 2026.2 version, introducing significant updates like Object Lifecycle Management, WS-Federation support, and enhanced SCIM provider functions, highlighting contributions from community members. The update allows administrators to schedule periodic reviews of authentik objects for compliance, supports WS-Federation for federated Single Sign-On in Windows applications, and improves SCIM provider capabilities such as user filtering and group syncing for multi-tenant setups. Notable enhancements include integration of Fleet connector for endpoint devices, expanded Linux support for Local Device Login with WebAuthn/FIDO2, and improvements to SAML provider metadata parsing, certificate handling, and signature verification. The release also marks a transition to using Python 3.14, though without utilizing its new features, and announces a shift to a tri-monthly release cycle starting May 2026. Additionally, new integration guides have been introduced, and users are encouraged to upgrade to version 2026.2 by following detailed documentation and release notes, while also inviting community feedback and interaction via GitHub, Discord, or email.
