Using Okta Verify people can setup biometric authentication (Windows Hello, Mac Fingerprint, Biometric Keys). Here's what you should know.

What happens if I am being prompted to use biometric and I don't have my computer or biometric device?

1. Login to the machine with biometric setup
2. Log into the myapps.uwrf.edu portal
3. Click on your name and select Settings
4. Add your account to the Okta Verify mobile app (scan the QR code from your phone)
5. Configure your device (optional)
