3mycp (3mycp) asked a question.
I had OKTA verify on my old phone but it broke. I am trying to get it on my new one but it requieres me to not only sign in but then verify via the app I am trying to log onto. It is a circle of verfying through push which I cant do.
Hi @3mycp (3mycp) , Thank you for reaching out to the Okta Community!
If you still have the old device you can look into adding the account from there via the “add your Okta account to another device option”. Details here:

For Android:

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

Otherwise, for security reasons you'll need to use an alternative option (ex. SMS, Google Authenticator, Yubikey etc) to sign into your Okta account and enroll the new 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. They will need to reset your MFA and this will trigger a new enrollment flow.
While Okta provides the Product (Okta Verify app), individual account management is handled by your company or service provider.
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!
