Setting Up Okta Verify on Smartphones

Tags Okta MFA

Okta Verify is the recommended MFA authenticator for use on St. Edwards systems. Please follow the steps below to Okta Verify for your account and device.

  1. Install Okta Verify. You can do this from whichever "store" your phone uses, App Store, Google Play Store, etc. 
  2. With a computer, log in to your account by going to your identity portal settings, which will direct you to Okta, our identity management system. It is easier to do this part on a computer and have your phone available to scan the QR codes in later steps.
  3. Click "Edit Profile" within your profile settings to enable changes. You will be prompted to enter your password and verify yourself with an MFA method.
  4. Select "Okta Verify" from the list under the "Security Methods" section.
