It is very advantageous to setup multiple factors for Multifactor Authentication (MFA). If you ONLY have SMS setup and texting services are unavailable, you will not be able to login. If you have other options for MFA, you can choose those during the login process (see HOWTO - Login to Okta for details) as needed.
To setup additional factors, login to the Laker Login Portal. In the upper right click your name and select Settings.
In the top right corner next to name click the ^.
Click Settings:
Scroll down to the Security Methods section:
Click the option you want to add:
Example to add OKTA Verify App: click Set up

You will need to download the OKTA Verify App on your phone.
A QR code will show up on the computer screen. You will need to scan this using your phone once the Okta Verify App is installed. DO NOT Scan this one, you will need your own. (This is just an example).
