Okta Verify for Negative User Reviews
✓ Push notification always failsThe push notification always fails. It is a convenient feature when it actually works, but it’s highly inconvenient when it doesn’t..Version: 9.5.0
✓ Poorly designed! This app means that I can’t access my university account when I’m not at homeMy phone is old so I can’t download the app, so the only time I can use the app is when I have access to the iPad at home. It’s not my IPad so I can’t take it with me..Version: 7.10.2
✓ Waste my timeEvery time when I login to USYD canvas it keeps asking me to verify even when I click remember me and the device. To be honest, this is a useless app and no point to use the trash system to waste and verify every time. I’m so disappointed that university forced students to use the verify system..Version: 6.3.0
✓ Annoying NotificationI no longer use this app on my personal mobile, but I still keep receiving notifications from my App Store saying “Okta Verify is no longer assigned to you”. When I hit the notification, it directs me to a support page which cannot be found. When trying to report this to the App Store as an issue, it has so many purchase records of this app in my history, but none of them can be selected for reporting! Hope this can raise the app developer’s awareness, and can be resolved ASAP!.Version: 7.1.0
✓ Terrible AppApp requires FaceID, even when you don’t use FaceID on your phone. Notifications are worthless. There are no details about the system the authentication request is for so you’re blindly authorizing login. One login could send multiple notifications, so even if the system works (which at least twice a week it’s broken), you just never know who or where you’re letting use your account..Version: 6.8.1
✓ Bad choice for workplaceRegret using this for timesheet purposes. You’ll always have issues with login always. Trying my best to navigate my company to a different platform..Version: 7.9.0
✓ Watch app? Can we have it back?It was SO useful! My phone is central to most of the work I do, looking at tech docs, talking to SMEs. It was nice to be able to just tell my watch “Open Okta” to get my login credentials. Now I have to switch apps and reopen Okta on my phone and hope I didn’t navigate away or let something time out on the phone..Version: 9.7.3
✓ Buttons are backwardsThere’s very little UI in this app and the somehow got it backwards. When you are asked to verify “not me” or “yes it’s me” the buttons are on the wrong sides. The "yes it's me" or the verification should be on the right since on the web and all other applications have the CTA “yes” on the right. We read left to right where right is always “continue”. It’s confusing and wrong they switched the standard to be reversed. At least make the buttons obnoxiously red and green if you’re gonna mess with convention and UI expectations..Version: 9.11.0
✓ What forSeems stupid that we are using such an archaic system that is actually clunky.Version: 7.8.0
✓ Doesn't WorkI added my account, but everytime I try to use it I am asked to add that same account.Version: 9.3.0
✓ App notifications don’t workFor the longest time, I’ve been able to receive notifications from the app, allowing me to approve notifications without having to directly open the app in order to approve it. Now, for whatever reason, even though notifications are enabled for Okta Verify, I am not receiving notifications at all, what is going on?!.Version: 6.3.0
✓ Stupid appMakes everyone lose it time.Version: 9.11.0
✓ Less Clicks pleasePlease help by make this more efficient. Both on the iOS notification yes/no option only lasts a half a second before it changes to review. The watchOS notification only displays review. Please make this more efficient so we only have to long press the notification and the select yes/no without having to open the app and review and then select yes/no from within the app..Version: 7.8.0
✓ Poor performanceGenerally pretty lousy. One running joke around the network is “remember this device for 90 days” — Most of us were forced to log in ~every 90 minutes. 🤣.Version: 7.4.1
✓ Needs improvementsThis app needs improvements in terms of UX/UI. There should be a cleaner way and interface to copy the codes with a tap. Also why can’t individual codes be organized in any way into folders? This makes for a long list of chaos. PLEASE add these features, it’s not a big ask. The push notifications also seem to be broken as of recently..Version: 7.7.1
✓ Same with my experience. Just trash and give more trouble to students. Waste me a lot of time.Trash and just waste our time and make things more complicated..Version: 6.7.1
✓ Apple Watch?Why can’t I approve the push notification from my watch anymore..Version: 9.8.0
✓ Unable to access University exam due to technical failureWould strongly advise against using this app, due its bugs I was unable to access an important exam, there are many better apps for this same purpose.Version: 6.3.0
✓ Bad appVery complicated process when you got a new phone, you have to call IT and remove your old device, no alternative way.Version: 6.10.1
✓ Lacking Apple Watch ExperienceMy company recently moved from the simple yes/no verification process to a process where you have to pick the number on the app that matches the number on your computer screen. Back when it was the simple yes/no question, I could simply tap Yes on my watch. Now I have to dig my phone out of my pocket, open it up, and get to the right number. It would be great if these numbers could be displayed on my watch and I could get through the verification process 15 times a day much more quickly!.Version: 9.5.0
✓ Push verification rarely workDoes job for most part for SSO but push verification rarely works..Version: 4.4.0
✓ Background UsageThe app works for what’s advertised; however, it is constantly running in the background whenever using my phone. Over the past day, I have had 8 hours of on screen time, with this app running for then entire 8 hours, and not even opened. This is an unnecessary amount of background usage. There is literally no excuse for this as every other Authenticator app does not do this. I’ll be petitioning my employer to allow another 2FA method as I no longer want this installed on my phone..Version: 7.7.1
✓ HorribleThis is the worst verification process ever, I feel as if ever 3 months I have to go through a whole ordeal to get into my university program. Please make it simple to re setup with new phones, app deletions or when my data get displaced..Version: 7.15.0
✓ NO NEEDI still have no clue about the necessity of this app. University of Sydney, all of the sudden, has forced us to get this app for using Canvas. No information and no explanation. What else should I need to explain more? I would rate 0 out of 5, but 1 is the lowest number..Version: 6.3.0
✓ Loses data!Okta Verify loses all your data each time you upgrade or replace your iPhone causing hours of wasted time. Try and use other 2FA authentication apps where possible as all other apps retain data OK in my experience..Version: 9.2.2
✓ Immediately locked me outIt was mandatory to set up Okta for my university account so I did, and not a day later my account disappeared from the app and I had no way to access my university materials. I had to call tech support to reset my login, which took a whole hour. A lot of other students also had the same serious issue. Used Google Authenticator instead which worked much better.Version: 6.7.1
✓ Times outTimes out before the 12 hours and I need to close the program and reopen to sign back in 😒.Version: 7.8.0
✓ Very annoying UI bug (and potential security risk)App itself works fine, but it is VERY annoying that when you get a notification to authenticate, then long press on it to answer it from my lock screen, it brings up the “Yes, it’s me” and “No, it’s not me” in one position, then the whole window MOVES POSITION ON THE SCREEN within a second or two. This causes me very often to hit “No” accidentally. Imagine if I hit “Yes” accidentally on an unrecognized authentication - seems like a security risk! This does not happen with other Authenticator apps, so I know it’s not a general iOS problem..Version: 9.4.0
✓ This is the worstFine to set up the first time. But once you have to re download the app you are screwed. This is the worst app. The worst idea for a company to use. I don’t understand why they’ve made this so complicated. I can’t get into my email now..Version: 7.4.1
✓ TerribleHalf the time push notifications aren’t received by the app. It’s the only app I’ve ever used that struggles with finger print reading. Constantly refuses to accept finger print until I force close the app and restart. Having to delete and reinstall now as it completely refuses to accept my thump print anymore, despite re-registering my thumb print on the phone. By far the worst MFA app I’ve ever had to use..Version: 5.8.0
✓ Disabling FaceID should not be marked as warning.Not everone is confortable to share biometrics data over third-party companies / devices. Marking "Enable FaceID" as a potential security warning is an overkill..Version: 9.2.2
✓ Why does this app exist?Have you ever heard of Google Authenticator? Why are you wasting my time with another app, and another thing to remember when getting a new phone?.Version: 6.9.0
✓ Middling Apple Watch SupportThe update to support a numeric challenge is nice, but the inability to respond to said challenge without opening the app really hurts usability. It would be nice to see an update that gives the appropriate options in the notification so this functionality can be restored. As is, I can get notified on my watch, but can no longer respond there..Version: 9.5.0
✓ Never sends push notificationsThis app and whole system has never worked for me because the push notifications are never sent. Furthermore, it never remembers my login information when I check the box to “remember me.” I have an email sent to me every time I attempt to log in saying a new device and location has attempted to try to log in. It’s still me from the same devices. This app is infuriating to use and never works, whether on a website or directly from the apps. I hate it very much and has caused me and the company I work for hour and hours of headache..Version: 9.3.0
✓ IPhone Great, Watch hit or missApp works great on iPhone, but it’s hit or miss on the Apple Watch. Sometimes it’ll go through so I can approve or deny on my watch, other times I can only use my iPhone. Very Inconvenient when my phone isn’t always right next to me. Hope this is improved in the future..Version: 6.4.0
✓ Awful.Very buggy.Version: 7.1.0
✓ TerribleI used to love Okta. Now I have experienced multiple times where the system is so bad I can barely stand it. What is the point of having two step authentication if I also have to answer a security question each time I login? If the only way I can contact my it support team is through logging in through Okta, then I have no way to get help when I need it. Wish Okta would do better..Version: 7.8.0
✓ Discontinuation of Apple Watch app was a terrible decisionGenerally have been pretty happy with Okta, and the push notification verification is great when logging into my workplace accounts. However, the decision to remove the Apple Watch app because of “low user numbers” is really disappointing. For added security I’ve been trying to shift away from using text message verification codes and opting for temporary in-app codes through Okta. It’s an annoying and time consuming process as it is (but of course needs to be done!) but having it right there on my watch was a huge help, especially if I want to work with my phone switched off etc. Really disappointed by that decision, and will likely have to look elsewhere now for an app that can work on both iPhone and Apple Watch. Sometimes it’s best to branch out and actually speak to your customers and see what they think!.Version: 8.2.1
✓ Not very global, voice option supports only US & CanadaVoice verify option only supports 2 countries! Is there a committed road map date to fix this Okta?.Version: 3.8.2
✓ Tranfering Okta to a new iPhoneNeed some help here . I really like the app still there a major issue I get with it. I have a new iPhone and would like to transfer my Okta app on it . There's no clear indication on how to do it .I've searched help on this matter but it's not useful. There should be an easy way to do it within the app..Version: 8.1.1
✓ Pulled support for Apple Watch?Why would you stop supporting Apple Watch? Literally no reason to do it! I don’t want to have to get my phone out to get a 6 digit code when I have a device on my wrist that does just that absolutely fine! Incredibly poor..Version: 9.0.0
✓ Missing Apple Watch appRemoving the Apple Watch app seems to have been a bad decision, and has caused a great deal of inconvenience. I would recommend finding an authentication app that supports Apple Watch..Version: 9.4.0
✓ Locking me out all the timeThis **** app required by uni is legit the worst app ever. Don’t click on do not challenge me again on this device because it DOES NOT WORK AT ALL. Whoever have a brain cell can make a better app than this ****.Version: 6.10.0
✓ App is crashing after last updateApp no longer loading on iPhone 6.Version: 6.0.1
✓ IOS 12.4.9 no longer supported :-/The latest version of the App (6.0.1) does not load on an older iPhone 6 running on iOS 12.4.9. The previous version (5.x) was running fine..Version: 6.0.1
✓ Cab50#Ok.Version: 7.2.0
✓ Waste of time + BrokenNo matter how many times you press “do not challenge me on this device again”, you will still have to login the next time. It’s INCREDIBLY slow as well, loading times are abysmal for an app in 2021. If your university requires you to get this like mine, I feel for you. Zero stars would be preferable..Version: 6.3.0
✓ FrustratingHonestly the most frustrating app to set up. Seems to want two screens but it’s impossible to access both for the process.Version: 9.0.0
✓ Very decent authentication method. However others are better.No iCloud backup or a way to transfer devices with an easy method. Whenever you get an authentication app. You need 5 simple things. TOTP codes, push notifications, Secuity via biometrics, and a way to transfer the devices securely. Backups are important..Version: 6.10.1
✓ IssueThe app does not show a verify number anymore just a blank count down, please fix.Version: 3.8.2
✓ Fine until you get a new phoneI religiously use iCloud so I assumed my Okta settings would come with my info when I started my new phone. No. And they make it impossible to simply transfer power of approval. You have to go individually to each and every connected app and reattach. But I can’t seem even do that to “scan the QR” I’ve looked online for help articles and the help info wasn’t helpful either.Version: 6.8.1
✓ ClunkyIt is much less convenient to use than Duo is. The notification pop-up tries to show an option to approve, but immediately switches to a “Review” button that forces you to open the app to approve a sign in. Then it requires Face ID to approve even though you’re already on your unlocked phone. It may be secure, but it’s not convenient. Forced to use it by a hospital system, otherwise I would use this app..Version: 9.5.0
✓ App CrashingThe app keeps crashing after update Nov 27, 2020 and unable to login. iOS on IPhone 6.Version: 6.0.1
✓ Discontinuation of watch appA very useful feature is being lost because someone made the determination usage was insignificant and it was “too hard” to add 3 more buttons. Okta even admits in their blog post pulling out your phone is annoying. Wow. Organizations are moving to a third challenge with numbers and quite frankly I didn’t even know a companion app was available because simple push auto notifications were already working. Now that my org has implemented the third auth I went to see how to address this with the watch and lo and behold there’s an app and it’s being discontinued. 🤦♂️.Version: 9.4.0
✓ Not lightweightI didn’t really want another auth app, but forced to get this. First complaint was before I even installed it. The description says lightweight. It’s 80mb. Looking at other auth apps they are 10-40mb. So far it’s done what is says it does, so a few stars for that. Also don’t like that Okta doesn’t use standard 2fA like almost everyone else..Version: 9.8.0
✓ No notifications after last updateNo longer receiving any notifications on IOS 14.4.2 after updating to Okta Verify 6.3.0.52.Version: 6.3.0
✓ Ruining livesMy phone wiped itself the other day and went with it okta verify. Now, the only way I can login to okta verify is if I go through my uni email. I can’t login to my uni email without okta verify. Worst design. Failing quizzes because of this..Version: 6.3.0
✓ Worst app everThere’s nothing good about this app whatsoever. Extremely confusing process, hard to log in from external devices and mobile application..Version: 6.9.0
✓ Often slow or does not bring notification to frontMany times, it sakes several seconds to receive the push notification. And many times, like this morning, o had an email open on my phone screen and did not receive the push, I had to swipe down to see my recent notions it was there. It should always show on top of screen. Otherwise, it is an average authentication app..Version: 6.4.0
✓ Works well and easy to use, but the In-App notification banner needs a redesignPlease redesign the In-App notification banner as it covers the authentication buttons and slows the verification process. It's a pain when you're in a hurry. Alternatively could you move the buttons from the bottom of the screen?.Version: 6.9.0
✓ BEWARE - data is lost if you change devicesI upgraded my phone and used a backup to load everything on my new device. Now I see Okta deleted all data and it can’t be recovered at all (Okta does not back it up). From their FAQ’s: “… Before deleting Okta Verify from your device or getting a new device, you must sign in to your non-Okta services to set up your new device with those codes. You will not be able to retrieve the codes after you no longer have access to Okta Verify on your original device.” So Okta has screwed me big time. This is utter crap..Version: 7.3.1
✓ Completely useless and locked me outThis app has been forced on us by USYD for canvas. There is little to no help offered, I’ve been told I have to wait 4 days to resolve my inability to log in, I can’t access any of my course content. There is no option to reset login details which is very silly..Version: 6.3.0
✓ Terrible since updateApp has been crashing and also, the verify codes don’t refresh if the app has been left open in the background. This worked fine before the masters update. Fix as this is hugely annoying. My failed logon attempts are captured in audit reports!.Version: 6.0.4
✓ Good customer serviceDoing a company-side reset of MFA fixed my issue..Version: 5.0.5
✓ Why was the watch support removed?It was great until they decided to remove Watch support..Version: 8.2.1
✓ Watch support is badMy company recently implemented a requirement to tap a number after approving a login. Ever since the change, the pop up to select a number hardly ever pops up on the watch. It just takes you to the screen with your codes. Really annoying..Version: 7.12.0
✓ Used to be GreatHave to use this app for work. It used to be great until they removed the Apple Watch functionality. Now instead of easily looking at my watch I have to dig out my phone and open the app. Not the end of the world, but definitely more cumbersome..Version: 8.2.1
✓ Really annoyed that Okta’s gone from Apple WatchI’ve used my Apple Watch to confirm pushes for ages. I’m really annoyed that Okta is no longer supported on AW - despite having notifications turned on to push them to my phone, and the blurb here, it’s not working. I now have to drag my phone out to verify instead of tapping my wrist. Not happy Jan..Version: 8.2.1
✓ Terrible. Zero starsI’m furious that I now have to use this for Sydney Uni. I’ve been locked out for days with no help & the phone support very ineffective. I’ve been unable to attend my zoom classes and unable to submit assignments. WHAT A JOKE..Version: 6.3.0
✓ SucksMost of the item in iphone, i struggle to authenticate myself..Version: 6.3.0
✓ Removing Apple Watch support has been a huge inconvenienceOkta used to be so easy to use when my corporate network automatically timed out because I could get the codes from my watch. Now, even through it says that I can reply on the watch to allow the computer to login, it doesn’t always work. This used to work before and with the most recent update, it stopped working. I keep my phone away from my desk to minimize distractions and it’s been such a pain to log in now..Version: 8.2.1
✓ Push notification not workingNot receiving push notification not working.Version: 7.4.1
✓ Lacking featuresThe good: Support for Apple Watch. The bad: No support for: Cloud backups. Locking with Face ID / Touch ID. Summary: It is just okay only if you just want a very basic authenticator app..Version: 6.3.0
✓ Poorly designed appVery bad decision for USYD to use this for authentication. I can’t use this app on my phone because it is old and won’t run the newest software. I’ve had to use a relatives IPad in order to fix this. Not acceptable.Version: 6.3.0
✓ New Phone NightmareTried transferring over to a new phone, it’s a nightmare. Says scan QR code and on old device there is no QR code in site !.Version: 9.10.0
✓ TerribleCompletely defeats the purpose of unikey and password. Always makes u log in again and again.Version: 6.4.0
✓ Name 267Hello.Version: 6.5.1
✓ Push notifications buggedI’m on ios 15.4.1 and just updated the app today with the update that’s changelogged from a day ago, but as of a couple of days ago I stopped getting push notifications. The help page “Troubleshoot missing Okta Verify push notifications on iOS devices” points out a diagnostic section, but that section says everything is fine on all okta apps, and they aren’t on any of them. I don’t want to have to unlink and relink 6 of my Okta’s to reinstall to fix the push notifications. Those push notification-responses are what made me love Okta over other MFA solutions, so I would’ve otherwise given a 5*.Version: 7.4.1
✓ 1 star because you are forcing me to rate your app before using itSeriously. I can’t log in without rating it..Version: 6.5.1
✓ Apple watch glitchCodes not showing up on watch.Version: 5.7.1
✓ 1 star for removing support for Apple Watch one time codesJust dropped the support, without an explanation, pulling a phone every time I need a one time code is no fun..Version: 8.2.1
✓ Sadly lacking an Apple Watch appUnlike Duo, Okta verify currently has no Apple Watch app, which is *hugely* inconvenient as I now have to keep my phone near my PC, whereas with Duo I could get the auth code from my watch. Devs, please, please, *please* would you add an Apple Watch app asap?.Version: 9.1.1
✓ LimitedApproval button sometimes never displays despite network connection is good and confirmed a push was sent. Has no widget so I can’t open it quickly. I can’t organise, add aliases, tags, icons etc to accounts. Fairly unusable app..Version: 3.16.1
✓ Say bye bye to productivityDo you like to get your work done, or do you prefer re-login constantly on every device you use your productivity Apps on? If the answer is the later, then I have good news for you! Why get things done when you can try an authenticate all day long with this wonderful App? Say goodbye to those productivity days. It’s time to take bureaucracy back! Features: - Logs you out of Teams and outlook without you knowing! On different devices, at different times. Why are you not getting messages on your phone? Well… OKTA! - Makes recovering an account hard. Those hackers might be able to login into your systems, but your employees will never break in! Security at whatever the cost. - Coming soon: Okta UltraSecureTM. Okta will put all your employees offline for good. No more internet, no more problems!.Version: 7.2.0
✓ Apple Watch :-(The whole reason I wanted (and got) an Apple Watch 5 years ago was due to okta integration. I am not 1 staring it because the app itself works well but it absolutely stinks that the integration with the watch was discontinued. I don’t know what is meant by “low usage” as a reason because I used it whenever the response was requested and it sounds like many others did too..Version: 9.2.2
✓ IPhone 11 ProActionable notifications seem to be broken on the newer iPhones lacking 3D Touch. Otherwise, pretty good..Version: 4.0.0
✓ Any organisation who uses this I will think twice aboutEasy set up first time but get a new device and your in a death loop. Provide QR code but do do this login and it’s just so frustrating… waste so much time I could be working!!!! And waste IT admin time. So terrible!!!!.Version: 7.0.1
✓ AwefulSad in this day and age that companies need to use this kind of crap to self manage holidays etc when you can’t even Log On due to technology issues. My company want me to use this and I can’t even log on as my phone cannot link to the QR reader to log in or access my settings. Been waiting over 30 minutes of work time for a call handler to sort the issue!!!.Version: 4.4.0
✓ IPhone app fine, Watch app unusableHilariously the TOTP numbers displayed on the Apple Watch - the sole reason for this app existing - are too big to fit into the teeny tiny small space in the centre of the circle allocated for it, at least on the Series 4. Thus the Watch app is completely useless, when in fact it should be the most use of the lot. Instead why not USE THE WHOLE SCREEN FOR THE NUMBERS and have a very small visual bar to indicate when the numbers will change. Maybe even flash them for the last 3 seconds. Your Watch app designers clearly phoned this design in at 5 minutes to build time..Version: 3.12.0
✓ Ok, could be a bit more streamlinedForced to use this for work. Seems simple enough, just the Windows part could be better.Version: 6.5.1
✓ The most annoying authenticatorAnnoying authenticator just asking for sso every 5 min.Version: 9.1.1
✓ Watch app is uselessI use slightly bigger fonts on my watch and the app only shows first 4 characters which is pointless. It could fit in easily with a better layout in the screen but currently useless..Version: 2.0.5
✓ Doesn't work with cisco secure clientIt's a pain i have to enter id-pwd every time and oktafastpass doesn't popup and log me in!.Version: 9.3.0
✓ Works great until it doesntGot a new phone - was impossible to transfer to new phone as your supposed to be able to within app. Took a week to get access to my account through customer service support. Now.. trying to reset my password for my school account and they make it impossible bc of oktas stupid policies. Garbage app that put me at risk of missing mandatory class..Version: 9.11.0
✓ Not compatible with older iPhonesNo backwards compatibility with older versions of IOS so if you have an iPhone 6 or earlier, the app just won’t download for you. If you have to use this app as part of work or school, it’s going to cost you! Ridiculous!.Version: 7.3.1
✓ Stay away from OktaOkta is a dishonest company. I would caution small- to mid-sized business from ever doing business with them. The paywall alone is an unbearable cost. Thinking of using Okta? Just google "SSO Wall of Shame" and see for yourself what you will pay in addition to Okta's outrageous yearly fees. Their sales team will sell you quickly and drop you as soon as you sign. It happened to us and we were left paying for a service that we cannot use and now they’re demanding payment for another year. Stay away at all costs..Version: 7.15.0
✓ Why kill the Apple Watch app?Is Okta doing that bad fiscally that the Apple Watch (the only legitimate wearable platform) app had to be killed? Anyone that uses a number challenge or OTP has been severely crippled with this change. I have to log into services at least a dozen different times a day and waiting on a Face ID prompt constantly is an absolute waste of time. Revert the changes..Version: 8.2.1
✓ Incredibly UnweildyAfter I changed phones, I was prompted to use Okta to get through to my university results. After downloading the app, the page would just keep trying to send the notification to my old phone, which I no longer had access to, and had no option for setting up on a new device. I had to wait on the phone for hours with the IT department from uni just so they could reset it, as okta has no system itself..Version: 6.5.0
✓ Wont stay logged inHave to use this for University and won’t stay logged in for 30 days on any device when clicked. It’s just a pain that is completely unnecessary.Version: 7.1.0
✓ No more support for Apple WatchNot sure why it was removed in your last update, but I’ll have to now say goodbye to the App. 🥴.Version: 8.2.1
✓ PSA For Users Forced By UniversityPSA: If your University is trying to force you to install this to login, there is a way around. When prompted to set up MFA navigate through the options at the bottom until you reach “enter secret key manually” or something to that effect, then type the key into your preferred Authenticator app and you can use that to verify it..Version: 6.3.0
✓ What happened to the watch app???I used to use the Apple Watch app for OKTA verify constantly. Especially since I’m now using my iphone’s camera for meetings and can’t access OKTA on my phone while I’m on a meeting. Now the Watch app has inexplicably disappeared with a recent update. Why would you do that?.Version: 8.2.1
✓ 0 starsSo glad I am transferring to a uni that doesn’t require me to use this silly system. It should NOT be mandatory. If people want to set up two factor authentication that’s fine, but it’s ridiculous to force it upon those who aren’t interested. Should have the option to disable need for verification/authentication..Version: 6.9.0
✓ Why?We now require this to use the LMS at Melbourne University. There were no issues with the LMS before and I see this as a complete waste of time. It’s yet another practically useless app taking up space on my phone..Version: 6.7.1
✓ Alerts on Apple Watch don’t workIf you tap on an alert on the watch, you’re brought to the Okta Verify watch app, but it doesn’t show you the contents of the alert and you can’t respond to it. so then you have to log in all over again and use your phone to view and react to the alert..Version: 7.10.2
✓ Too slowI have 10 seconds to identify myself on Cisco anyconnect vpn using Okta. Half of the time, the notification comes with 5-10s delay, giving me no chance to authenticate within that time, triggering a timeout. then on the next attempt, Okta shows the prompt for the first attempt!! Poor implementation..Version: 6.4.0
✓ It puts you in a loopAfter using on a regular basis it just decided I didn’t actually have a linked work account so now I’m stuck trying to access Okta on my other device to update the settings but of course I can’t because I need the push… so that’s so great and fun..Version: 7.2.0
✓ Just terribleApp constantly redirects me to some other page which Safari says isn’t even a valid URL, I can’t even get past the first screen. For some reason my university in its infinite wisdom is deciding to use this random third party app that barely works in order for me to access my course files. As a result I can’t go to online class until this issue is fixed (have restarted multiple times, reinstalled, etc.) Complete trash and a useless product, nothing is wrong with SMS 2FA!!.Version: 6.7.1
✓ This annoys me every dayI hate this app and the whole concept of it. It is so hard to set up and the add an account from another device is so unnecessarily difficult and non functional. Why does this even exist, why does my canvas require two factor authentication what are they going to do log on and submit my assignment for me?.Version: 9.11.0
✓ ReallyDownloaded app and be for i have used it i have to review to continue, not a great start!!!.Version: 7.2.0
✓ Apple Watch App is gone! Bad move!Okta got rid of the Apple Watch app which is a very bad move in my opinion. IF your work has the push notification option you can still say yes or no from your watch but if you have a service that requires the actual pin to be entered you can’t use your watch anymore… most of my work applications support the push notification but for VPN I have to enter the manual code….Version: 9.0.0
✓ Kafka would be impressedWhen it works, it’s annoying and pointless. When it doesn’t work, i.e you lose your phone with the number and app, it’s an absolute nightmare that is unresolvable without a significant investment of time and incredible frustration. The whole system is eerily reminiscent of Franz Kafka’s prediction of a world dominated by bureaucratic nonsense with a very narrow claim of value. I just don’t need military grade security to check my timetable, it’s bs..Version: 3.16.1
✓ Okta is junkImpossible to use efficiently and costs hours of lost time. Don’t use it..Version: 5.9.0
✓ Pretty poor implemented.Push to mobile doesn’t work. Slow web page loading often leading to needing to manually input credentials a second time. My work changed from VIP Access to this and alas it’s a backward step..Version: 6.5.0
✓ Missing Apple Watch supportOkta has worked great for me up until the last two weeks when an “update” removed Apple Watch support. I used this feature multiple times per day for work and really miss it. Now I have to get my phone out every time I log in. Please bring this feature back..Version: 8.2.1
✓ Okay onlyNeed facial recognition. Doesn’t work as well via mobile access for some reason..Version: 7.8.0
✓ Auto Push should be defaultCome on, Todd! Send push automatically should be the default. It’s more secure if i get a notification every time someone tries to login. For anyone hot-desking computers, no default push is an unnecessary pain each time!.Version: 6.5.0
✓ Really patheticIts pathetic thats all I can see. Its veyond my understanding why companies use such a poorly made software.Version: 5.3.1
✓ Poor grasp of geographyEvery time I grumble on a review about getting notifications that bear no resemblance to where I geographically am, it improves. But only for two weeks. The difference is marked- when it’s wrong it’s very wrong- telling me I am 40+ miles away in a suburb of London. Even on a good day, it gets it wrong by 10 miles. What a joke.Version: 6.10.1
✓ Broken Push notificationsAs others have stated, push notifications stopped working after updating. You now have to open the app to approve, which is very annoying since I need to approve several times a day. Please fix..Version: 6.3.0
✓ Fine when it worksWhen it’s set up it’s fine, however trying to transfer your old account onto a new phone is stupidly difficult when it seems like such a simple thing to do. If this was fixed it would be fine.Version: 9.9.0
✓ Just some money and access to your camera dataUsed to be so simple enough to login myuni system without this forced scam, which is probably a way to get the access to our phone camera, for computer vision research apparently..Version: 6.7.1
✓ Authentication BrokenWell, immediately after applying this update authentication was broken. I get “Failed to send push notification response”..Version: 5.0.2
✓ Won’t work on watchYou used to be able to have it on your Apple Watch and your iPhone for easier access but I guess they want you to have to remember the code by memory instead of looking at your watch for the code. Good job 👍🏻.Version: 8.2.1
