What does okta stand for identity management?
This process is typically called Identity Administration, or User Provisioning and De-provisioning. In Okta’s term it’s called Okta’s Life Cycle Management, where you do manage your accounts, your groups, your relationship with those accounts and groups, as well as entitlements and attributes for various different applications.
The next thing we wanted the answer to was; how do I use Okta for multi factor authentication (MFA)?
Use Okta to enable a second level of security (SMS, Email, Voice, Biometrics, Okta Verify, and so on) for every sign in or configure policies to only enforce MFA based on location, network, and device context. For instance, you can enforce MFA only if the user is signing in from a new device that is in a different country than your office.
What is Okta single sign on?
