Removing the Forgot Password Link on the Default Okta Domain

The forgot password link cannot be removed when using the default Okta domain because it is a built-in feature of the default sign-in page. To remove or hide this link, a custom domain must be used to access code editors, or an embedded Sign-In Widget must be utilized for programmatic customization.

• Okta Identity Engine (OIE)
• Okta Classic Engine
• Default Okta Domain
• Sign-In Widget
• Customization

The forgot password link is a built-in feature of the default Okta sign-in page. Advanced customization options, including hiding the link via code editors, are only available when using a custom domain rather than the default <*.okta.com> domain. The branding settings allow modifying labels and adding custom links, but do not provide an option to hide or remove the default forgot password link on the default domain.
