You have probably used the 2-step verification process for accessing your email account, and you might do the same when you want to log in to other websites and apps. But what you might not know is that this process can also protect your device and data from hackers.

In fact, the threat of hacking is one of the biggest reasons why people might want to set up the 2-step verification process. With Okta Verify, you can protect all the accounts that you have registered with Okta, whether it's your email, bank, or social network account.

The way it works is that you first have to download the Okta app on your device. You will then be asked to register your device by providing some information about yourself and how you want to use it. By enrolling your device in Okta, you'll be able to secure your account with a 6-digit one-time passcode. In addition, you can use Okta's push notifications feature to be alerted when new logins occur, and enroll in on-device biometrics to further secure your account. Finally, we also recommend adding 2-factor verification for any non-Okta apps that require or support one-time passcodes.
