Okta - Add or Remove MFA Options

To ensure you have continuous access to your Kean account, you'll need to set up Okta Verify (multi-factor authentication) on your new phone.

It's easier if you have both your new and old phone.

If you don't have your old device, please reach out to the OCIS Help Desk (908-737-6000) for assistance.


Okta - Add or Remove MFA Options

MFA options can be updated after the initial enrollment from the Okta Profile page. You can remove and add new factors. To update already enrolled factors, you will have to remove the factor and set the factor back up. The steps below provide instructions on getting to the Okta profile page and how to remove and add factors.
