Solution
Why is it impossible to trigger Okta Verify FastPass remotely on desktops?
There is no built-in functionality or API to trigger an Okta Verify push notification remotely on desktop devices. Okta does not support FastPass via API because the authenticator requires direct user interaction for both the enrollment and authentication processes.
