Lost access to device with Okta Verify for Admin Console

I lost access to my device that I had used to setup Okta Verify to login to my Dev account admin console. Now, I'm not able to setup Okta verify on a new mobile device as I'm unable to login. I'm trying to reach support but the Help Center page says I do not have access to create a case.

 

It would be very helpful if someone can suggest how I can reset the MFA or reach support.

 

Thanks

    Hi @User17146887549899498764 (Customer)​ Thank you for reaching out to the Okta Community! 

     

    Please note that free developer/trial accounts are only recoverable via self-service provided that you have configured the appropriate policies and backup accounts.  

     

    If you have a paid production/developer account with us, please leverage it to open a case via the support.okta.com site or call the support line (Customer Support Account ID number required) so our Okta Support colleagues can review the matter. If for whatever reason those options are not available for you, please contact your Okta Account Executive or Customer Success Manager, and they will be able to engage the Support team on your behalf.  

     

    If no paid developer or production account is available,  the only option left is to sign up for a new free trial or developer account and leverage those for testing. 

    Beyond that, engaging our Okta Sales team to discuss the matter would be the only option as it is unfortunately completely outside of the Okta Community Team's scope. 

     

     

    Regards.

    • Thank you for your response, Mihai.

       

      I don't have a backup account setup for that. Can that account be deleted and can I create a new account with my companies email address?

       

      • Mihai N. (Okta, Inc.)

        The same address cannot be reused.

        If you have a paid account with us, the Support team should have back-end access to see if it can be recovered.

         

        Regards.
