About Recovery Keys: We ask you to save your Recovery Key when you create an account. We strongly recommend you do this to make sure you never get locked out of your vault. Learn more about Recovery Keys.
Security tip: It’s helpful to remember that Okta Personal uses your mobile device as an added layer of security. Unlocking your vault with biometrics and responding to notifications on your mobile device help us verify that it's really you.
