Article Summaries:
- Okta now supports Bring Your Own Telephony (BYOT), letting organizations integrate any telephony provider into its workforce identity cloud. The guide explains how to connect Twilio Verify for SMS or voice OTP delivery using Okta’s telephony inline hook. It outlines the OTP flow: a user logs in, Okta optionally calls Twilio Lookup to format the number, then sends a custom code via Twilio Verify, the user enters the code on Okta’s login page, and Okta validates and redirects. The article lists prerequisites-Okta and Twilio accounts, a Verify service with custom code enabled-and highlights Twilio Verify’s global reach, multi‑channel support, fraud protection, and rate‑limit controls. The full code is available on GitHub.
