Branding
Branding is a no-code tool for customizing the Okta interface.
Branding creates a seamless experience for your users. The page where users sign in displays your org's background and logo. Their End-User Dashboard is branded with your colors. If users encounter an error, that page maintains the theme. Even the email messages for account and password maintenance reflect your org's brand.
About multibrand customization
If your organization includes multiple subsidiaries or multinational components, Okta allows you to use distinct branding for each part. This feature provides an alternative to setting up multiple Okta orgs, which can require higher maintenance, cause slower performance, and make errors more likely.
