When disabling delegated authentication to Active Directory:
How are users expected to access their emails to action the password reset email that is automatically triggered when selecting the 'Create Okta Password' option?
NOTE: This is for users that use deleagted authentication to view their emails.

Hi Cleo,
Thanks for contacting the OKTA community.
Please refer this URL for your reference: https://help.okta.com/oie/en-us/content/topics/security/healthinsight/notifications-changed-password.htm
What i mean is, if email is usually accessed through delegated authentication. When you turn delegated authentication off, how are you supposed to authenticate to email client to see emails?
Hi, @71qb0 (71qb0)
Thank you for posting on our Community page!
When disabling Delegated Authentication, there are two options:
POST {{url}}/api/v1/users/{{userId}}
with the following body:
{ "credentials": { "password" : { "value": "Pas$w0Rd123!" } }}

Hey Laura, thanks for the response.
However, this is not the question I am asking. I would like to know how users are to access their email to action the forgot password email if delegated authentication is disabled.
