Before You Begin
The screenshots below were taken in the pre-prod environment so your experience may vary. The outlined steps should still work, however.
You will need a valid and working Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) credential to perform these steps.
Steps
- From your desktop, select the JAMF icon near the top-right and then choose Get Software
Alternatively, search for Self Service and open that application, which will take you to the same place.
- You may need to select Log in from the bottom-left of the Self Service window to display all MSU-related content
- Select Browse from the menu on the left, then scroll down to find Okta Verify and select Install
- It may take a moment for the installation to complete. When it is ready the Install button will change to Open
Do not open Okta Verify from here at this point. Additional configuration is needed before doing so.
- In a web browser, navigate to auth.msu.edu
- Select Sign in with Okta FastPass from the login screen
- A prompt may open requesting to Open Okta Verify. Select the checkbox and then select Open Okta Verify to continue
- On the "Welcome to Okta Verify" screen that opens, select Get started
- Enter your MSU email address and select Next
- Verify your log in with the two credentials of your choice (likely Password and a MFA credential you've set up previously)
- You may be prompted to enable Touch ID at this point. This will allow you to authenticate to Okta FastPass using your fingerprint.
- Okta Verify will prompt you to authenticate. Select Use Password...
- After completing this step Okta FastPass should be configured to authenticate to your account.
- Going forward, the option to Use Okta FastPass will be an option for logins.
- You're done!
