Turn on biometrics to unlock your vault

Instead of needing a master password, you must use your device's biometric unlock, like facial scans or fingerprints, to access your vault. It's simply the most secure way to verify it's you.

Note: For enhanced security and privacy, we use the biometric data stored on your mobile device to unlock your vault, but Okta Personal doesn't store or have access to it.

Allow biometrics on iOS

Before you begin, make sure you have turned on Optic ID, Face ID, or Touch ID for your iOS device.

  1. Open Settings on your iOS device.
  2. Tap Face ID & Passcode, and tap Other apps.
  3. Find Okta Personal, and tap the toggle on to allow biometrics to unlock your vault.

Allow biometrics on Android

Make sure you have turned on biometrics on your Android device, and you'll be able to unlock your Okta Personal vault.

  1. Open Settings on your Android device.
  2. Go to Security and privacy, then tap Biometrics.
  3. Set up Face recognition or Fingerprints.

Why do we use biometrics? Biometric data is unique to you and hard to replicate. Unlike passwords or PINs, which can be guessed, stolen, or reused, your fingerprint or face is much harder to fake.
