*Multifactor authentication provides an extra layer of security when logging in to web applications. It has become the standard for organizations that value the the privacy of their users and the security of their data.

**There are four other ways to authenticate your login. They are:

  • Okta Verify: An app you can install on your mobile phone (or computer) that generates the six-digit codes needed to authenticate. It also offers push authentication, a message generated by the app asking if you are attempting to login. You simply acknowledge using the app.
  • YubiKey: An actual key (it looks like a thumb drive) that you install in your computer's USB drive or tap against your phone to authenticate your login.
  • Google Authenticator: Similar to Okta Verify, it's an app you install on your mobile phone to authenticate your login.
  • Security Question: Allows you to set a security question and corresponding answer which you enter to authenticate your login.
