Okta Single Sign On (SSO) FAQs
Something like 'Okta' should be sufficient. Authy needs no internet connection to generate a time-based code, but it does require an accurate time on your mobile device. The Authy app will generate a 6-digit, time-based code on your mobile device. Enter the 6-digit code that was generated by Authy into Okta and click Verify.

What is Okta, SSO, and MFA?
You may hear different terminology when discussing how to access WSU’s network resources. To clarify the differences:
Okta is the name of the vendor who supplies WSU’s current SSO login process and MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication) service.
SSO is an acronym for “single sign on,” which is the name for the authentication or log in process that allows WSU users to access most university software applications with a single set of login credentials.
MFA or Multi-Factor Authentication (sometimes referred to as “two-factor” or “extra verification”) is WSU’s added security authentication step that requires a user to enter their network ID (NID) and password, followed by a code received through one of the following options:
- Authentication app on a mobile device (Okta Verify or Google Authenticator)
- Voice call
- USB Key
- Text message (SMS)
Users who need to access WSU resources will receive an invitation to set up their WSU NID (network ID) or friend ID (FID) and password, as well as MFA preferences, at account.wsu.edu.
- Users will receive reminders to reset their account password every 6 months
- For assistance creating an Okta-compliant password, google ‘password generator’ and find a number of online sites ready to help.
- Already have your WSU password, but need to visit the WSU password management site? Visit account.wsu.edu anytime.
