This release enhances the Desktop MFA feature on Windows to include an admin-assisted recovery path.

If a user is locked out of their Windows device, an admin can now issue a time-based recovery PIN. This grants the user temporary access to their computer without needing their primary MFA device, enabling them to resolve their authenticator issue and sign in successfully.

See Enable Desktop MFA recovery for Windows.
When the UseDirectAuth and PasswordlessAccessEnabled policies were both enabled for use with FIDO2 keys, new users who hadn't already signed in received three push notifications during their initial sign-in attempt. (OKTA-976811)
Users sometimes saw a login failed response instead of successful login when they canceled a FIDO2 assertion and immediately started a new one. (OKTA-838071)
In certain cases, a user could be prevented from signing in if they had no online or offline factors enrolled, even if the MaxLoginsWithoutEnrolledFactors policy maximum wasn't reached. (OKTA-837497)
