  3. Customer Authentication Simplification: Customers using Okta-protected apps can be guided to register their mobile devices within the app, enabling subsequent passwordless authentication for seamless access.

  4. Customizable Authentication Factors: Enterprises have the flexibility to customize authentication factors, such as biometrics, either globally or optionally at the app level and even for specific transactions. This customization allows for tailored security measures based on individual needs and use cases.
