Okta - Initial Setup (START HERE)

How to setup Okta

Okta will be available for set up October 2-30.

October 31 Okta will replace Duo.

Important:

ITS recommends to have at least two security methods (devices) added to your account; you may add as many as you like. Adding your phone number to Okta is NOT a security method as texting (SMS) is not an available option.

One-time emailed or texted pass codes are not supported in Okta.
