Remove two-factor authentication for an item in Okta Personal

If you use Okta Personal as an authenticator to verify your identity on a website or app, but want to remove this added layer of security, you're in the right place.

Note: Before you remove two-factor authentication from the item in your vault, make sure you no longer require 2FA on the website or app — or that you have access to backup codes for this account — to avoid getting locked out.
