New: Okta Verify app template for Windows

We’ve added a dedicated Okta Verify for Windows app template to make deployment via Swif simpler and more consistent.

What’s new

  • Okta Verify for Windows app template

    • Now available under Software → App Templates as Okta Verify for Windows.

    • Discoverable and assignable just like any other app template.

  • Windows installer support

    • Upload either the official EXE or MSI installer from your Okta Admin downloads.

    • Both installer types are fully supported in the template flow.

  • Desktop MFA guidance is built into the template

    • The Windows template now includes a clear note explaining when advanced Okta Desktop MFA arguments are required:

      Note: The SKU, CLIENTID, CLIENTSECRET, and ORGURL values are only required when Desktop MFA is enabled.
      If you are not enabling Desktop MFA, you may omit or remove these arguments.

    • These arguments are optional unless you are specifically configuring Okta Desktop MFA.

  • Platform scoping

    • The Okta Verify for Windows template is scoped to Windows devices only, following existing platform rules.
