One of the many benefits to the Okta environment is the ability to save and protect and autofill all your important passwords. By storing them in Okta you’re securing them behind MFA making them readily accessible no matter where you are. Once you’ve successfully logged into Okta and established your MFA the next step is to get the Okta Extension. Link to the most current extensions can be found here https://help.okta.com/oie/en-us/Content/Topics/Browser-Plugin/plugin-installation.htm Once you’ve installed the extension to your browser, open the extension. The first thing you have to do is sign in, this will link the extension to your Okta account. Once you have signed in your browser extension will populate with any existing applications you may have. Selecting an application will immediately take you there, but if you want to visit applications or websites that aren’t already available and have it save other credentials, you should select the gear icon at the top right of the extension and activate the option to disable browser password prompts. Once you’ve set this for allow, Okta will now save all your credentials securely to your Okta dashboard. Feel free to visit all the sites/applications that you use for work and Okta will remember them. Additionally they’ll now all appear on your dashboard back at Endicott.Okta.com, where you can reorganize them. Lastly once an application is saved to your Okta dashboard you can view the password and credentials you have saved for it, configure it to auto launch when you log into Okta or a host of other options. To view the credentials or details of an application click on the 3 dots in the upper right corner of the tile and it’ll appear on the right hand side. Clicking the tile itself will launch the application.
