1. Okta Verify is a lightweight app that allows you to securely access your apps via 2-step verification, ensuring that you, and only you, can access your app accounts.
2. You can verify your identity using a push notification sent to your device (if enabled by your organization), a temporary 6-digit code, or biometrics (if enabled by your organization).
3. While you access your apps, you'll choose a 2-step verification method provided by Okta Verify to finish signing in.
4. We do request permission to use your device camera so that you can scan a QR code when you enroll your device with Okta.
1. 0 stars to university of Sydney and 0 stars for this app.My employer uses this verify app and up until about a month ago it worked well, now it only sends push notifications half the time.
2. Not sure what the issue has been the last couple of week.Worst authenticator app out there, so of course the thrift savings plan makes us use it.
3. Note I would never download such a basic model but I was forced to by my university and it's overall been a horrible time consuming experience for all.
4. We have been using Okta for two-step verification for a few years now for my work.
5. I've also read other reviws describing the same behavior so I don't think it's operator error.It was working perfectly since last year.
6. A lot of other apps can do the same without this kind of implementation, so basically just lazy incompetent developers.My employer is using this app.
7. It would be nice if they could get this resolved.Push notification NEVER works, even entering the code never works.
8. I contacted my employer support group and they advised its an issue on Okta's end.
9. Our IT Team determined that the source of the issue why my phone and the app is nowt working is because it is not compatible.
10. In order to get notifications, the app has to run in the background 24/7 when most other 2FA apps don't need to.
11. It's not just me either.This app runs a permanent background service with a notification, and wastes battery for it, without any way to turn it off.
