Last 5 password
Say, once we implement OKTA and AD will be datasource, in that case whether OKTA will remember last 5 password that was set in AD earlier?

This is Bogdan from Okta support.
The Password Policy that is applied for Active Directory users is enforced by the password policy that is setup in AD, Okta will look at AD for the Password History.

Thanks Molly,
After reviewing Password synchronizing Overview - Not sure if I understand correctly, So to achieve goal to remember 5 password, AD --> OKTA should works as 'Delegated Authentication' however I wanted to understand if we opt 'Delegated Authentication' approach, then will we able to synch OKTA password to AD like using Forgot Password in OKTA?
Thanks to Bogdan, I understand your point that Okta will look at AD for the Password History. Is it like while initial load of AD mastered users, OKTA directory will save password in encrypted form or OKTA isn't going to save password at all?
