Worst app ever

By far, the worst app ever designed for dual verification. It stops working at random, will not open the verification window and when you try to reset it (delete the account, delete the app, reinstall the app, add the company account again), it will tell you you need to verify with Okta instead of letting you enter your password. And you can’t verify because you just deleted the account and the app so it’s not set up to verify. That is aside from forcing you to reenter your Okta code dozens of times every single day, even though you’re already logged in and working on your personal device and whatever specific systems. Absolutely horrendous. Do not recommend.

Doesn’t Work

My company made the switch from text message verification to Okta. It worked fine the first two days. Now it’s not working at all. I get the notification on my phone, it scans my face after I click “Yes, it’s me”, and then nothing happens on the website I’m trying to ask. Such a pain

I try opening the app on my Mac and it refuses to even open.

Why doesn’t this app even open on a Mac when I have downloaded it and updated?

Pulling my hair out

Can’t get past trying to make an account. Can’t find the qr they’re talking about or finding some other set of numbers to make an account. I just want access to mhs genesis. If you’re not a computer geek, you’ll end up so frustrated, you’ll just quit. I’ve spent hours trying to use this and have gotten nowhere.

Nightmare program

If I could give this zero stars I would. I have not even been able to access critical accounts for months and new accounts that have started using this I can no longer access. All of these are extremely critical for personal information that I can no longer access. It is so infuriating. And this is when the program actually opens, let alone works. I do not know who made this program but a child could do better.

Wo bleibt die Watch-App

Funktioniert alles super.
Aber wo bleibt die Watch-App?
Warum muss ich extra das iPhone aus der Tasche nehmen um den Login zu bestätigen, wenn ich das doch auch auf der Watch tun könnte?

Completely useless bloatware

The company has made this app suck so much that you need to install a bloatware like this to get rid of the extra bureaucracy

Easy to use and works perfectly.

One request: Please make an Apple Watch version so that I no longer need to take my phone to the office! :)

Total Garbage

Too many verifications and can’t get logged in. Now I have to have a url to go to to set up account. This is absolutely ridiculous!!!

Lost everything

Migrated to a new iPad, and despite transferring all the data and apps for everything else, Okta has lost all my data, and with it, all my 2FA credentials. I can’t transfer them from my phone, either, despite what their web documentations says. There is no “export” button.

Why did my school add this

I hate this verification stuff with every fiber of my being. I set up a pin password. Oops! Actually you need a security key that we know you don’t have. Don’t have it? Here, use a passkey on your phone that you also don’t have. I am just. Trying. To get into my school email. I don’t have time for this. I contact the help desk, and they tell me I have to download this app to get it to work. Why? Why on God’s green earth do I need a stupid app when I already set up a pin password? Why can’t I use the password I already set up? Why is it like this? I just don’t get it

スマホ機種変して

スマホを機種変してログインできなくなった。
職場でこれを使わないといけなくなり設定していたようだが、パスワードなんて覚えてないし、パスワードを忘れた方はこちら みたいなのを押して操作していっても全く同じところがグルグル表示される。
うざい。

New update makes app use inconvenient

The refresh token is on the bottom left. So if you’re holding your phone with your left hand you can’t tell when the token refreshes? Stupid design.

DUO is better

Duo wastes less of my time with a better user interface.

useless

useless, veryfy with work computer and work e-mail, useless app not a business partner

No QR or key number

The system to add an account says to scan a QR code or enter the key manually. Nothing is providing a QR code or a key to enter. How does a person add the account, as a retiree, if they don’t have the QR code or the key?

Follow your major competitors lead

First of all, put the verify button on the right side of the screen. Left or right handed people use muscle memory and this app is secondary to Duo. Second, I’ve been logged out twice. Getting back in is a hellish nightmare. I’m so disappointed with my organization adopting this platform

Only verification app that doesn’t work

Honestly trash. Doesn’t work to verify yourself, tried 3 different ways and I’m just done. It was working before but still had issues as well. Never had any issues with any other verification app and I’ve used a couple.

The WORST authentication

How am I supposed to add an account if it asks for okta. It’s a frustrating infinite loop…. Text authentication is so much better. This MFA sucks

scam

unfortunately doesn't work save your money enable face recognition on your apps, that's what Okta does
