- For Okta Verify FastPass, the authentication has the
USER_VERIFYINGproperties, which are considered biometric factor types.
- In the case of Okta Verify Push notification, the USER_VERIFYING properties are considered biometrics factor type only if the user has biometrics enabled on the Okta Verify application.
- In the case of Okta Verify One Time Passcode, the factor properties do not include USER_VERIFYING, and it will not satisfy the multiple-factor requirement; the user will be prompted for a second factor.
