Resolution

Note: These instructions are for first-time enrollment in Okta. If you’ve previously enrolled in Okta and need to transfer your account to a new device, but do not have a backup device (e.g., replacing a lost phone), please submit a ticket for assistance.

Starting February 25, 2026 you will see the new Okta Sign-in page (replaces U-M Weblogin). If you are required to use MFA and have not yet enrolled in Okta, you must follow the steps below to enroll your account in Okta before you can sign in. 

For the best experience, please use both a computer and a mobile device to complete this process (or see enroll using only your mobile device). If you encounter any issues after downloading the Okta Verify mobile app, do not delete the app - please contact us for further assistance.
