WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THIS TUTORIAL?

This tutorial will guide you through setting up two-factor authentication (MFA) for your IUSD account using OKTA. MFA adds an extra security layer by requiring both your password and a second verification method, making it significantly harder for unauthorized users to access your account and enhancing overall protection against potential breaches.

Step 1: Log in to OKTA 

• Go to iusd.okta.com and log in using your IUSD username and Password.

Step 2: Navigate to Settings

• Select your name at the top right corner (1)
• Click on "Settings" from the drop-down menu (2)

Step 3: Turn On MFA

• Scroll down until you see "SECURITY METHODS"

• From there you can select the form of multi-factor authentication that you would like to use. 

MFA Options:

1. **OKTA Verify - Okta Verify is a multi-factor authentication app installed on your phone or computer, used to prove your identity when logging in for the first time.
2. Security Key or Biometric Authenticator - You will be prompted to register a security key or biometric authenticator (Windows Hello, Touch ID, Face ID, etc.). 
3. Google Authenticator - Enter a temporary code generated from the Google Authenticator app when logging in for the first time.
4. Phone - Receive a one-time code that is sent via SMS to a user's phone to verify their identity when logging in for the first time.
