Okta allows setting up optional user account fields for added security. If the admin has enabled a security image, a redirect will occur to the Okta Welcome Page. This happens even if they access applications through a service provider. On the Okta Welcome Page, end users will be prompted to select a security image and a forgotten password security question.
