Hi All,
I am trying to understand if it is possible to configure Username + SMS OTP authentication?
I have configured "Email Magic Link" successfully, and I am trying to understand if this flow is possible with SMS OTP instead?
e.g:
- User views login widget in browser
- Enter username.
- Click send SMS
- User enter SMS OTP in widget.
- Access!
Viewing this documentation, I understand this would only be possible with Okta Verify app?
Thanks in advance.

Hello @JR.56041 (-) Thank you for reacting out to our Community!
I have tested this on my end and it works as intended. There should be no problem with this configuration, just make sure that the SMS MFA is enabled for users to enrol and use.

Hi @paul.stiniguta1.508386743840768E12 (Okta, Inc.) ,
Can I confirm this was tested on Okta Identity Engine?
Also, is there any part of the documentation you could reference for me please?
Thanks,
select Establish the user session with : Any factor used to meet the Authentication Policy requirements
