OKTA MFA workflow with third party SSO apps
Would like to understand how does the Okta MFA work in the situation that the application already work with third party SSO solutions. Thank You

Hi @n2geo (n2geo) , Thank you for reaching out to the Okta Community!
I'm not sure I fully understand your use case, but the app's authentication flow would have to pass through Okta for the MFA to apply.
Okta would not be able to interpose an MFA solution in the authentication flow between an app and a different IDP (identity provider).
If my answer helped, remember to mark it as best to increase its visibility for other members of the Okta Community who might have the same questions as you.
Hope my answer helps!

Thanks @Mihai Negoita - Okta (Okta, Inc.)
Which means the process flow will be like > User click on Application > Okta MFA trigger > User accept the Okta MFA > Access granted to SP. Am I correct? In this case, who is doing the credential authentication when the user try to access the app?

Okta would have to take on that role, replacing the other solution you currently leverage for SSO.
