Another inquiry we ran across in our research was “How does Okta provide security?”.
Okta provides security in the following ways : Since the recovery email is distributed out-of-band and may be viewed on a different user agent or device, this operation does not return a state token and does not have a next link.

The answer was If the request is successful, Okta sends a recovery email asynchronously to the user’s primary and secondary email address with a recovery token so the user can complete the transaction. Primary authentication of a user’s recovery credential (for example: EMAIL or SMS) hasn’t completed when this request is sent. The user is pending validation.
