Okta Verify

Work-account sign-in protection

Okta Verify is a mobile authentication app for people who use Okta-managed work accounts and services. It adds a second check when signing in, helping organizations confirm that the person requesting access is authorized. It suits employees, contractors, and other users whose workplace requires multi-factor authentication rather than a password alone.

Ways to approve a login

The app can send a push request to your phone, letting you approve a sign-in from the notification. It also provides temporary six-digit verification codes for services configured to use them. Depending on the organization’s setup, device biometrics can add another check before an approval is completed.

• Push approval: Review and confirm an authentication request from the app.
• Verification codes: Use a rotating code when code-based sign-in is required.
• Biometric checks: Use supported fingerprint or face recognition features where enabled.
• Account setup: Scan a QR code to connect an Okta account during enrollment.

Best suited to managed workplaces

Okta Verify is most useful when an employer, school, or other organization already uses Okta for identity and access management. Its usefulness depends on those account settings: available approval methods and enrollment options may vary by organization. This is not a general password manager or a standalone account service; it is a focused companion for Okta-protected access.
