The Improved New Device Behavior Detection feature is a mechanism for detecting when a user signs in from a new device. This feature analyzes data from HTTP cookies in the browser through which the user signed in to Okta and trusted applications to provide data about the new device. Policies evaluate these data to determine whether the user must be prompted for Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) or be allowed to sign in without MFA.

The feature should be available for all existing orgs. and enabled already. If there are any doubts, please contact Okta Support and ask them to verify if indeed the feature is enabled. For more details and instructions on how to use the feature, see the Related References section.
