Objective
Following these steps will set up Okta FastPass on your machine, allowing you to use biometric and other credentials to complete multi-factor authentication (MFA), often referred to as Two-Factor Authentication (2FA).
Environment
Okta FastPass
Windows, not enrolled in MEMCM
Before You Begin
Okta FastPass on Windows may be installed via MEMCM if the device is enrolled. These instructions may be used if MEMCM is not an option. You will need local administrator rights on your machine to complete this process. If you do not have that access, please contact your local IT person to assist.
You will need to have your Okta account created and a credential registered to your account to complete this process. Please see KB 957 (link) for those instructions.
Steps
- Go to auth.msu.edu (link).
- Select Sign in with Okta FastPass.
- Select Download here to download the installation file.
- Once the file downloads, run the Okta Verify setup installer (EXE) from Windows File Explorer.
Windows UAC (User Account Control) will appear during the next steps. Allow the process when prompted.
- Agree to the terms and select Install.
- Select Finish when the install is complete.
- Launch the Okta Verify app from your Start Menu or from the Desktop.
