February 9, 2026, is observed as National Clean Out Your Computer Day. This day serves as an important reminder to digitally declutter, update software, organize and delete files, and dust off our keyboards. However, it’s also the perfect time to think about your digital identity hygiene. In today’s world, clutter isn’t just a workspace distraction; it can also be the unnecessary expansions of an attack surface. A clean digital environment is a foundational step towards a more secure and efficient organization.

Perform a Digital Hygiene Check on your identity perimeter using these four tips below:

• Audit your identity perimeter: Take a moment to review your active sessions and third-party app permissions. Just like cleaning out old files, removing “ghost” access, and updating your MFA factors significantly reduces your chances of attacks.
• Tidy up automations: For our automation experts, audit your Okta Workflows console. Deactivate old “test” flows and clean up your folder structures to ensure your production logic is easy to manage and troubleshoot. 
• Streamline your dashboard: Reorganize your Okta Dashboard by hiding or removing apps you no longer use and grouping the essentials. A clutter-free dashboard doesn’t just improve productivity; it helps you spot anomalies and unauthorized apps faster.
• Engage with the Community: Don’t clean in a vacuum! Head over to our 40+ discussion groups to collaborate with peers and share your tips for tidying up your digital workspace.
