how to completely disable self service options "Forgot Password" and "Unlock Account"

good day, we would like to completely disable the options shown in the login page Forgot Password and Unlock Account because we prefer our help desk to continue in assisting users for these issues.

Is there a way to do so? Thank you very much,

Alessandro

    Hi Alessandro,

    Check with Okta to support to see if it can be completely disabled. I'm not sure that it can. However;

    If you navigate to Settings-> Customizations in your admin UI, you have the ability to change the text and the URL for "Forgot password" and "Unlock account". You can use this to send your end users to a page hosted by your company that provides specifics on how to get support.

    I don't think there's a way to disable it on the admin side.

    Have you tried asking Okta Support? Maybe they can do it on the backend, but no guarantees.

     

    Honestly you should reconsider your stance and let people unlock their own accounts. Pretty much every other company is doing it.
