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.
- Install Okta Verify. You can do this from whichever "store" your phone uses, App Store, Google Play Store, etc.
- 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.
- 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.
- Select "Okta Verify" from the list under the "Security Methods" section.
- Next, validate with your password and proceed to the Okta Verify set up confirmation screen.
- Lastly, follow the on-screen instructions, scan the QR code on your smartphone, and follow the finalization steps.
- You should see your SEU account underneath "identity.stedwards.edu" in the Okta Verify app now. This means you've set it up correctly and can use it to verify your login.
