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).

Frustrating and Unintelligent - no Apple Watch support
Update: they removed Apple Watch support. The only benefit this app had.
I login from the same computer, at the same desk, in the same place every day. Yet every time I need to log in I must verify a ‘unusual sign in attempt’. I understand the need to have two factor authentication, but this is the most frustrating and unintelligent approach. I don’t know how much all these companies are paying for this service but I would never use it voluntarily.
Stay away
Simply Rubbish
Toast covers buttons
The success toast message covers up the buttons to say “yes/no” and it cannot be dismissed.
Needs update warning
Don’t just do nothing when push isn’t working properly, check for and update and notify the user.
Verifying
What’s with all the constant verifying
Very annoying if you have a business
why would you not use a standard authenticator
This self important app no longer logs in when you get a new iphone and is a complete pain to set up, its a fantastic way of converting a simple 10 minute admin task into a 3 hour nightmare
Worst app ever
It locked me out again and again. The authentication is a scam, and didn't work repeatedly, (google authentication, email and push notifaction). This is so bad, why did university make us use this stupid app.
This annoys me every day
I hate this app and the whole concept of it. It is so hard to set up and the add an account from another device is so unnecessarily difficult and non functional. Why does this even exist, why does my canvas require two factor authentication what are they going to do log on and submit my assignment for me?
Fine when it works
When it’s set up it’s fine, however trying to transfer your old account onto a new phone is stupidly difficult when it seems like such a simple thing to do. If this was fixed it would be fine
Apple Watch?
Why can’t I approve the push notification from my watch anymore.
