With Multi-Factor Authentication (also known as MFA or 2-Step Verification), you add an extra layer of security to your account.

After you set it up, you’ll sign in to your account in two steps using:

• Something you know (your password)
• Something you have (like your phone)

Important: If any sites prompt you to use 'Google Authenticator' for Multi-Factor Authentication (also known as MFA, 2-Step Verification, or 2FA), note that you can always substitute the Authy app instead. Although they work in similar ways, Authy is more feature-rich and allows for multi-device syncing, secure cloud-based backups, and easier account recovery should you change or lose your phone or device. More information on the features of Authy is available.

Okta Verify supports multifactor authentication with the Okta service Try Okta Free Trial Okta Verified The integration was either created by Okta or by Okta community users and then tested and verified by Okta.

Authy is a bit more technical to setup than Google Authenticator, but can be a significant help if you have multiple devices (phones, laptops, tablets), or if you need to change devices.

1. On your computer, navigate to a website or service that requires Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), such as https://checkmyokta.com/.
2. Enter your username and password. Click the Sign In button.
3. When presented with a prompt to set up Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), click 'Setup' under the SMS Authentication option first. This is helpful if you lose, break, or replace your phone.
4. Type in a phone number where you can receive SMS messages (text messages) and click 'Send code'.
5. Check your mobile device. Enter the 6-digit code that was texted to you and click 'Verify'.
6. Click 'Setup' under the Google Authenticator option.
   Remember that when any site prompts you to use 'Google Authenticator' for Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), you will be using the Authy app instead.
   
7. If you will be using an iPhone as your secondary device to help you get logged in, select iPhone. Otherwise, selectAndroid.
   If you're not sure which option to choose, select Android.

8. If you don't already have it installed, pause here and install the Authy app on your mobile device (instead of Google Authenticator). Links to the iOS App Store (for Apple products), Google Play Store (for Android and Samsung devices), Windows or Mac, and Linux are available.

Okta Single Sign On (SSO) FAQs

What is Okta, SSO, and MFA?

You may hear different terminology when discussing how to access WSU’s network resources. To clarify the differences:

Okta is the name of the vendor who supplies WSU’s current SSO login process and MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication) service.

SSO is an acronym for “single sign on,” which is the name for the authentication or log in process that allows WSU users to access most university software applications with a single set of login credentials.

MFA or Multi-Factor Authentication (sometimes referred to as “two-factor” or “extra verification”) is WSU’s added security authentication step that requires a user to enter their network ID (NID) and password, followed by a code received through one of the following options:

• Authentication app on a mobile device (Okta Verify or Google Authenticator)
• Voice call
• USB Key
• Text message (SMS)

Users who need to access WSU resources will receive an invitation to set up their WSU NID (network ID) or friend ID (FID) and password, as well as MFA preferences, at account.wsu.edu.

• Users will receive reminders to reset their account password every 6 months
• For assistance creating an Okta-compliant password, google ‘password generator’ and find a number of online sites ready to help.
• Already have your WSU password, but need to visit the WSU password management site? Visit account.wsu.edu anytime.
