OKTA requires a multifactor authentication. In the example shown here the second factor is SMS authentication.

In this example, a 6-digit code is sent via SMS text message to a phone number specified by the employee.

Enter that code as shown and select "Verify"

Note: Other options are "voice call" and "Google Authenticator"
