LyleF.46548 (Customer) asked a question.
We have a windows desktop application that we need to enable MFA authentication for a client with the Okta Identity Manager. Now the Okta Web Portal only allows us to register a web app and not a desktop app. We were able to link our application directly to Auth0 and through the Identity service links, were able to connect to Okta. The issue we have is when a user is prompted to enter their password, it redirects the user to the Okta web URL, upon entering their details we do not get any callback or token to say the user has successfully logged into Okta. So now we are sitting with an open browser, logged into Okta and a Desktop application in the background waiting to be logged into. Can anyone direct me to any documentation that might help me with this issue?
Hi @LyleF.46548 (Customer) , Thank you for reaching out to the Okta Community!
I've checked my resources and there does not seem to be any out-of-the-box integration from this type of implementation. I've seen similar requests in the past, but no clear solution.
You can suggest a feature enhancement on the Okta Community page by going to the Community→ Ideas tab. Features suggested in our community are reviewed and can be voted and commented on by other members. High popularity will increase the likelihood of it being picked up by the Product Team and it being implemented.

In the meantime, my advice would be to reach out to the devforum.okta.com to take advantage of their expertise.
While we'll do our best to answer all of your questions here, this medium is more inclined towards Okta core products.
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!
