11dhv (11dhv) asked a question.

Does Okta have the capability of triggering an SMS for forgotten password or account lockout?

Does Okta have the capability of triggering an SMS to the preconfigured number of the user (for MFA) when the user fails to enter the right password after a certain number of attempts or in case of an account lockout? The attempt here is to guide the customer to the self service via an SMS, instead of having to call the helpdesk.
