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 screen with your smartphone, and follow the finalization steps.
- Once you've downloaded Okta Verify to your mobile device, open the app and select the "+" in the upper right corner.
- The following steps are to select "Organization", "Skip", and "Yes, Ready to Scan". Then scan the QR code with your phone.
- If you are only using your phone during this process, select "No, Sign In Instead" and use "identity.stedwards.edu" as the URL.
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.
