  8. On the Okta site, click “Enter a verification code instead,” paste the 6-digit code from your email into the “Enter Code” box, then click “Verify.”
  9.  Set up your security question and answer. The answer must be at least 4 characters long. If you do not find a question you like from the drop-down menu, you can create your own security question.
