Okta Verify for Windows release notes

Version 6.9.0. Deployed to Production on May 4, 2026.

Generally Available features

New configuration option for Okta Verify user verification

Admins can now configure user verification enrollment through a client setting when deploying Okta Verify for Windows. This provides greater flexibility by allowing client-level settings to take precedence over org-wide configurations. See UserVerificationEnrollment.

Customizable osquery timeout for device assurance

Admins can now adjust the osquery timeout value to prevent the early termination of osquery actions. See Configure advanced posture checks for device assurance.

Reset Okta Verify on Windows

Users can now reset Okta Verify on Windows if the app fails to load. This option deletes all Okta Verify accounts on the device and restores the app to a clean state. See Reset Okta Verify on Windows.
