This article provides instructions for performing a silent installation of the Desktop Multifactor Authentication (MFA) for Windows. A silent installation hides the user interface, preventing end-user interaction or cancellation.

• Desktop Multifactor Authentication (MFA)
• Windows
• Okta Device Access
• Okta Identity Engine (OIE)

To silently install the Desktop MFA for Windows, use the command-line installer with the /q option. This option is available for installer version 4.0.2 and later.

1. Download the Okta Verify installer for Windows from the Okta Admin Console by navigating to Settings > Downloads.

2. Open a command prompt and navigate to the directory containing the downloaded installer file.

3. Execute the following command, replacing the placeholders with the appropriate values for the environment. The /q flag at the end of the command runs the installation in quiet mode: 

   OktaVerifySetup-<x.x.x.x-yyyyyyy>.exe SKU=ALL ORGURL=https://<org.okta.com> CLIENTID=<clientID> CLIENTSECRET=<clientSecret> /q
   

NOTE: Adjust the parameters (SKU, ORGURL, CLIENTID, CLIENTSECRET) as per the Okta org.
