Okta Verify Setup Instructions
Important:
ITS recommends to have at least two security devices added to your account; (i.e. cell phone, laptop, iPad . . .) you may add as many devices as you like.
It is recommended to setup Okta on your cell phone first before adding other devices because you need to "verify" when adding other devices. The easiest way is to use your cell phone for verification.
In the future, when you get a new phone make sure to see Okta - Authenticator Removal Before Getting a New Phone
