dt1zm (dt1zm) asked a question.
Hi,
As a mac user with Touch ID and a Yubikey, it's currently not possible to select which authentication method to use when logging in. Having the two options configured as available authentication methods is helpful when one is not available e.x. using different machines (non-Touch ID) or not having the Yubikey on hand.
Is there a reason why Security Key or Biometric Authenticator are combined as a single option when logging in instead of having them listed out separately, allowing the user to select which individual method to use?
I propose breaking out the Security Key or Biometric Authenticator option into two distinct options or adding a prioritized list of authentication methods that can be set in the Okta preferences section.
Hello Karum
