Okta Professional exam Premier practice test question

Hi @RaviK.51127 (Customer)​ , Thank you for reaching out to the Okta Community! 

You are asking whether to change the Okta password policy so that users can unlock their accounts from outside the Corporate Network zone, given that the requirement did not include self-service password reset and the option to change a password while logged in is not appearing.

Solution: Scope the self-service unlock to the Outside of Corporate Network zone and leave self-service password reset disabled. The missing password change option is a policy setting, and it is separate from password reset.

1. Navigate to Security → Authentication → Password policies in the Okta Admin Console, then open the policy assigned to the target group.
2. Confirm that the policy allows account unlock for users outside the Corporate Network zone and that self-service password reset remains disabled, as the requirement specifies.
3. Review the Account Management policy in Security → Authentication → Account Management Policy. The Catch-all rule can require two factors for profile changes, which is why the change password option does not appear for a user with only a password enrolled. Lower the requirement only if the security team approves it, because this lowers the security posture for all self-service profile edits.
4. Verify the change by signing in as a test user from outside the Corporate Network zone, triggering a lockout, and checking that the unlock path is available while the reset path is not.
5. Use the admin action to set the password for the user if the task requires an immediate change. Navigate to Directory → People, select the user, and choose the option to reset the password. This is an administrator action and does not depend on the self-service policy.
