Instructions
Step 1
Start at Highline’s Okta Portal.
Sign in with your Highline username and password, and click the ‘Sign In’ button.
Step 2
Next, select ‘SMS Authentication.’
Step 3
Type in the number of a SMS-capable (can receive text messages) phone, and click ‘Send Code.’
Step 4
The window with your phone number will expand, and you’ll receive a text message sent to that phone with a six-digit code. Enter that code and click ‘Verify.’
Once that process is complete, you’ll see a message that SMS Authentication is an enrolled factor.
- Optional: There are also additional options for adding factors; click on those if you’d like to add another.
Once you are done, click the blue ‘Finish’ button at the bottom of that window. Note: you may have to scroll down to find it.
