0D54z00009dUG9oCAGOkta Classic EngineMulti-Factor AuthenticationAnswered2025-09-13T09:01:51.000Z2023-09-07T10:23:04.000Z2023-09-21T15:43:45.000Z

AndrewC.67337 (Customer) asked a question.

Okta multifactor is multistep and not compliant with industry standards

There are some industry guidelines in the UK which require that all MFA factors be verified prior to the authentication mechanism granting access and that "no prior knowledge of the success or failure of any factor should be provided to the individual until all factors have been presented". As Okta auth doesn't comply with this, I am wondering what Okta's thoughts are? if there are any features in dev for this?

    @AndrewC.67337 (Customer)​  Do you means:

    Multistep Versus Multifactor

    The PCI requirement became simpler but more restrictive, since all factors must be verified prior to the authentication mechanism granting the requested access. Furthermore, no prior knowledge of the success or failure of any factor should be provided to the individual until all factors have been presented.
