RDM 2026.2 adds multi-factor authentication (MFA) on PAM checkouts

We released Remote Desktop Manager (RDM) 2026.2, and one of the bigger items is MFA on PAM checkouts.

What we added:

• RDM can now prompt for MFA when a PAM checkout is requested, so verification happens right before privileged access is granted, not just at login.
• Supported methods for now are TOTP, email, and SMS.
• It works on Windows, macOS, Linux, and mobile.

The idea is to put a checkpoint exactly where it matters: at the moment someone's about to open a sensitive session.

If you're using PAM, update to 2026.2 and give it a try. A few things we'd like to hear about:

• Does the prompt land at the right point in your workflow, or does it add friction where you don't want it?
• We started with TOTP, email, and SMS. What would you want next? Push? Hardware keys?
• Anything that feels different (or off) between desktop and mobile?
