The Okta Verify mobile app is the preferred and recommended multi-factor authentication option as it provides the easiest and best experience in almost all cases; cellular service is not required.

The Okta hardware token is a standalone hardware device that generates a passcode as needed for U-M systems and resources. For those who cannot use the Okta Verify mobile app, Okta hardware tokens provide an alternative method for multi-factor authentication.

For those who cannot use the Okta Verify app, hardware token purchases are funded by Information and Technology Services (ITS).* This program provides hardware token options, which are available through Tech Shop. Simply add the token of your choice to the cart and checkout; your initial token purchase will be automatically charged to the ITS-funded program.

 

*Limit one funded hardware token per individual.
