Okta Verify

Forced by my company to use okta verify, got a new phone and the auth accounts dont even transfer over! What a headache! This is why i always prefer SMS 2fa.

Makes everyone lose it time

Tried transferring over to a new phone, it’s a nightmare. Says scan QR code and on old device there is no QR code in site !

Not everone is confortable to share biometrics data over third-party companies / devices. Marking "Enable FaceID" as a potential security warning is an overkill.

Annoying authenticator just asking for sso every 5 min

Okta got rid of the Apple Watch app which is a very bad move in my opinion. IF your work has the push notification option you can still say yes or no from your watch but if you have a service that requires the actual pin to be entered you can’t use your watch anymore… most of my work applications support the push notification but for VPN I have to enter the manual code…

It was great until they decided to remove Watch support.

I used to use the Apple Watch app for OKTA verify constantly. Especially since I’m now using my iphone’s camera for meetings and can’t access OKTA on my phone while I’m on a meeting. Now the Watch app has inexplicably disappeared with a recent update. Why would you do that?

Not sure why it was removed in your last update, but I’ll have to now say goodbye to the App. 🥴

Is Okta doing that bad fiscally that the Apple Watch (the only legitimate wearable platform) app had to be killed? Anyone that uses a number challenge or OTP has been severely crippled with this change. I have to log into services at least a dozen different times a day and waiting on a Face ID prompt constantly is an absolute waste of time. Revert the changes.
