Okta Verify is a lightweight app that is used for 2-step verification so you can confirm your identity when you sign in to your Okta account. This gives you an extra layer of security so that you - and only you - can access your applications. When you sign in to Okta, you can use Okta Verify to obtain a temporary 6-digit code or to approve a request notification sent to your device (your organization must enable notifications to use this feature). Okta values your privacy. Okta Verify does not store personal information - we request permission only for your device camera, which is used to scan a QR code to register your device with Okta. App Features * Enroll in Okta Verify as a new user by registering your mobile device with your Okta account. * Add one or more Okta accounts that require Okta Verify for authentication. * Manage 2-factor authentication for non-Okta applications and web services that require the use of passcodes. * Approve or deny sign-in requests on your device from a push notification (if enabled).

Okta Verify holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 2.7.

Written reviews complicate that: 27% of RSA Authenticator (SecurID)'s written reviews are positive against 19% of Okta Verify's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
