I just switched to a new phone and I am trying to set up okta verify on the new device. The problem is that when I try to login to Okta verify through my organization's portal, my username and password are not accepted and the password reset link never arrives in my email inbox.

Hello @3r3z0 (3r3z0),
Okta Verify works by binding to your physical phone hardware and the installed software instance. Okta Verify only works on one device for each Okta account. Uninstalling Okta Verify, Changing Phones, Transferring or Restoring your Phone Data, using Mobile Phone Cleaning Apps, or Resetting your Phone are some of the things that may result in the binding being broken between your phone and Okta Verify, and you will need to re-enroll your device in Okta Verify. To do this, you’ll need to contact your organization's IT department.

Good Morning Ms. Bermudez,
Thank you very much for your reply and explanation. Would I reach out to my organization’s IT or the IT department at the organization that my okta verify is connected to? I use okta verify to access a web-based application called FormsNet3 and the organization that allows me to use it is NMDP, The National Marrow Donor Program. However, NMDP is not my employer.
