    Hi @BalachandarK.51893 (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. The issue could be related to the MFA requirement mentioned in this article

     

    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 with a new email and leverage those for testing. 

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

     

    Regards.

    Im currently dealing with the same issue. Just signed up for Okta and tried to reduce the security requirements for users and now everyone is locked out. Cant even submit a ticket and no one is answering the phone. I cant even upgrade my plan off the free trial. Does anyone have any pointers here?

      Hi @u7rpe (u7rpe)​ ,

      The issue points towards an authentication policy which may or may not be misconfigured.

      In alignment with the Okta Secure Identity Commitment, Okta is requiring customers to use multifactor authentication (MFA) to access their Okta Admin Console. MFA is an effective tool to protect against identity attacks.

      The MFA will be required on all orgs and no admins will be exempt. 

      We recommend reviewing the Frequently Asked Questions article on this subject.

       

      As mentioned above, if no back-up account that can access the org to reconfigure the MFA requirements/enrollments, the only option left is to sign up for a new free trial or developer account with a new email and leverage those for testing. 

      Beyond that, engaging our Okta Sales team to discuss the matter of getting Okta Support services.

       

       

      Regards.

        Hi Mihai,

        We’ve lost access and are currently unable to proceed with setting up the MFA policy. Could you please help us regain access?

        Once access is restored, we’ll move forward with configuring the MFA policy. In the meantime, could you or someone from your team please reach out to either @u7rpe (u7rpe)​  or me directly?
