Review Your Okta Account to Ensure Continued Access to IT Services
Don’t risk losing access to important ND services like your Gmail account. The OIT recommends that you have more than one device/method enrolled in Okta in case your primary device is lost, damaged or unavailable. If you receive a new cell phone or tablet, you’ll need to enroll the new device in Okta. This requires you to use your second verification method to complete the enrollment.
