lsp07 (lsp07) asked a question.

I deleted an account by mistake trying to change my device

Hi, I changed my device (iPhone) since the previous one had a failure and half of the screen could no longer be seen, when I wanted to activate an account on the new one, I mistakenly deleted this account on the previous device, because as I mentioned, half of the screen was not visible and when I wanted to leave Okta, I mistakenly deleted my account. It is possible to recover it? Thanks a lot!

    Hi, @lsp07 (lsp07)​ 

     

    Thank you for posting on our Community page!

     

    Please review "Can’t add my existing account to a new or existing device" under the following troubleshooting guide:

    For Android:

    Here is a helpful video on it:

    In essence, for security reasons Okta Verify can only be bound to one device at a time and can only be re-enrolled through self-service once you are signed in or with the help of your company's IT Support who handle your account. You'll need to use an alternative option to sign into your Okta account and enroll the device. If you do not have an alternative option, please reach out to the company's or service provider's IT support or Help Desk so they can help you enroll a new device and provide further assistance.  

    While Okta provides the Product (Okta Verify app), individual account management is handled by your company or service provider.  

     

    Thank you for reaching out to our Community and have a great day!

    Thank you Laura for your answer. I already talked with OKTA IT, but the problem is that I deleted the FB account, and the IT person told me that he can't help me to restore it. I saw the video and read the articles you sent me, thanks, but there is no options to restore a deleted accout. 😣 Thanks a lot for your help.
