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).
