Hi, I am looking for passwordless authentication mechanism using Okta, similar to what Auth0 has. How to set this up in Okta?

Hi Ashwini,
Passwordless auth can be achieved today through Factor Sequencing: https://help.okta.com/en/prod/Content/Topics/Security/mfa-factor-sequencing.htm
We currently have in beta a more exciting passwordless flow, Okta FastPass: https://www.okta.com/fastpass/
Thanks for the update @rohern (Okta) . Can you help us enable Early Access Feature? The link you shared above mentions that we need to get that enabled to use this feature.
Also, wanted to confirm, factor sequencing would help us authenticate users only based on SMS, correct?
Yes, it authenticates based on enrolled factors by configure the policy in such a way.
Just adding to @rohern (Okta) and @BhaskarM.18336 (Customer) 's answers:
Thanks for your reply @User15851122134349081871 (North Central-Enterprise) . I am an Okta admin but I can't see Factor Sequencing as an option in Settings > Features. Is it a paid feature? How do we enable it?
Hi @User15851122134349081871 (North Central-Enterprise) / @rohern (Okta) - Any update on this?
Thanks for the update @rohern (Okta)
Sorry, I was on vacation!
Factor Sequencing is not a paid feature but it is in the Early Access feature. If you can't see that section in your dashboard then you might not have sufficient Admin privileges. There should be someone at your company with super admin privileges who can turn it on.
