Version up is no longer usable
When I got to version 7.4.4, the setting was empty. In addition, there are many problems, such as being unable to connect with two-step verification by email. I hoped that 7.4.5 would solve the problem, but I could hardly connect to two-step verification for email. Sometimes I could connect, but I could hardly connect. By the way, I was able to connect to the VPN when I removed the two-step verification. What does it mean that you can't use two-step verification to improve security? Please take immediate action!

Broken for iOS at the moment 7.4.5
On last weeks update (march 17th 2025) on iOS devices running 18.3.2 connecting SSL vpn with SAML causes the device to lose cellular and WiFi data even while vpn is disconnected. VPN will not successfully pass traffic and shows disconnected but the devices will continue to have no data capability until forticlient app is closed and swiped away from the background. Sometimes required a reboot of the device as well. This has been confirmed across Reddit and several other North American forums as a wide spread issue but so far 1 week later there has been no update pushed. Considering we pay a lot for my firewall licensing and 400 forticlient ems licenses it really feels like a slap in the face to be ham stringed by the free “We'll fix it when we get to it” app for our corporate mobile devices.. I am anxiously awaiting the update so my execs can do their time approvals and such on the road… I know that Fortinet ain't Cisco and doesn't claim to be. And doesn't have the infinite R&D budget Cisco does… but between the windows VPN app that gets hung up if adobe acrobat saves personal certificates, which made me have to pay for 400 licenses for EMS…. and the mobile app that breaks or wipes out saved connections every other update I'm starting to get fed up.. if other small companies can do better with their releases there's no reason Fortinet can't either.

This version does not have the feature to add an SSL VPN connection by scanning a QR code. Your product manager is truly impressive—always finding ways to frustrate users without spending a dime.
