Deploy Okta Verify to macOS devices
You can deploy Okta Verify to macOS devices using your device management solution. On devices that aren't managed, users can download and install the app directly from the App Store or a server location that you set up. You can download the app from the OktaAdmin Console ().
Ensure that users are always on the latest supported macOS version. See Supported platforms, browsers, and operating systems.
Deploy Okta Verify directly to devices from the Apple Business Manager
You can configure your device management tool to use Okta Verify from Apple Business Manager, and then deploy the app directly to targeted end-user devices.
After the app is installed, if your organization uses devices with macOS Big Sur (11) or later, Okta recommends that you configure your device management tool to automatically force app updates.
