Locked out of Okta Admin Portal

Hello - I am the only admin of a developer account that I had setup. I had MFA set up on my old phone via Okta Verify, but my phone had to be replaced due to damage. I didn't have Okta Verify set up on a backup device. How can contact support to verify my account ownership so I am able to log back in and reinstate MFA on my new phone?

  • Hi @RayM.84325 (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 with a new email and leverage those for testing. 

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

     

     

     

    Regards.
