What is Okta Verify?
Okta Verify is a mobile app that provides an extra layer of security to your Okta account. It is used for 2-step verification to confirm your identity when you sign in to your Okta account. The app generates a temporary 6-digit code or sends a request notification to your device to approve the sign-in request.
- 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 does not store personal information and only requests permission for your device camera to scan a QR code to register your device with Okta.

This gives you an extra layer of security so that you - and only you - can access your applications.

For all users complaining that the app doesn’t work, it’s most likely operators error. If your company hasn’t allowed pushed notification approval, then you won’t be receiving those alerts. Ask your company to turn that feature on. That’s what I did and now it’s working.

App allows for both push and a soft token. Easy to self register and works like a charm. Looking at the reviews below it appears most bad reviewers are angry about their employer adding a step to access something and are taking it out on this app. Functionality is smooth. Recommend for self service enroll MFA.

Used to be a great app. However, with the new build and a phone reboot, Push notification no longer works on my phone, and more importantly, on my watch. **** - Update. Upgrading this to 4 stars from 1 star. Shorty after I submitted my original review, the developer contacted me in order to troubleshoot the problem with the app. After trying several solutions, nothing worked. However, recently, it just started working again. Thank you for reaching out to fix this problem.
