Besides your username and password, InsureID MFA prompts you for a second factor before logging you in. InsureID supports a variety of factor options including the following options.
Okta Verify
Okta Verify is a mobile app that verifies your identity in one of two ways. Okta can send you a push notification that you approve using Okta Verify. Alternatively, Okta Verify can generate a six-digit code that you enter into your Okta login screen to access your required app.
Install Okta Verify
- Download the Okta Verify app from the Apple App Store or Google Play onto your primary mobile device.
- Using your computer’s browser, navigate to the website you’re trying to access.
- Fill in your login credentials and click Sign In.
- When prompted to enroll in Okta Verify, open the Okta Verify app on your phone and scan the barcode that appears in your computer’s browser.
- The next time you log through InsureID , it should offer to send you a push notification or ask you for a numeric code. If you choose the push notification, then approve it when it arrives on your phone. If you choose to use the code, then access the code in Okta Verify and enter it into your browser.
Note: You can only register Okta Verify on one device at a time. Authenticating on a second device cancels authorization for the first one.

Google Authenticator
This is a third-party app that generates a six-digit code for you to type into your InsureID login screen. You have 30 seconds to input the code before it generates another.

After five unsuccessful attempts, InsureID will lock your account for protection and you must submit a ticket through the portal or send an email to support@insureid.net.

Voice Call
This factor calls you via your smartphone or landline and reads an access code aloud. You then type the code into the browser to access your app. This is great for people who don’t have access to a cell phone because it doesn’t require push notifications or text messages. An extension number can be entered for landline business phones.
