As of early 2026, Okta does not have an official plan to make the standard Okta Verify application for Windows available through the Microsoft App Store.

Official documentation advises against using the package from the Microsoft App Store when configuring features like Desktop Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA).

The modern version of Okta Verify requires the Okta Identity Engine (OIE). Use the following methods for distribution and installation:

• Official Distribution Method: Download the Windows client directly from the Okta Admin Console by navigating to Settings > Downloads. The Windows version often requires specific installation flags, such as the unique organization URL, to be passed during the install process. The application installs at the system level to support features like Okta FastPass and Desktop MFA.
• Deployment: The installer is available as an executable (.exe) or a Windows Installer package (.msi) for deployment via Mobile Device Management (MDM) tools such as Microsoft Intune or VMware Workspace ONE.
• End-User Installation: To install Okta Verify on a Windows machine, sign in to the organization's Okta End-User Dashboard, select the user name, go to Settings, and follow the setup instructions under the Security Methods or Extra Verification section.

NOTE: A legacy Windows phone and mobile version of Okta Verify might appear in some Microsoft App Store listings. This version is deprecated and does not support modern features like passwordless login or Okta FastPass.
