Secure Your Development and Testing on Okta with Virtual Numbers
Okta is a leading identity and access management platform, providing secure connections between people and technology. For developers, IT administrators, and security professionals, setting up and testing policies in a sandbox environment often requires phone numbers for Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) verification. Using personal phone numbers for these test accounts is risky and impractical. A temporary phone number is an essential tool for creating isolated, secure user profiles for testing and development.
Create Isolated Sandbox Environments
When developing or testing authentication flows, you need to simulate real user experiences, which includes SMS-based OTP verification. Virtual numbers allow you to create numerous test user accounts without using the real phone numbers of your team members. This ensures your development environment is completely isolated from your production environment and personal data, preventing any accidental overlap or security vulnerabilities.
Enhance Security During Proof-of-Concept
During a proof-of-concept (PoC) or trial of Okta's features, you may need to demonstrate capabilities to stakeholders. Using disposable phone numbers allows you to set up demo accounts quickly and securely. You can receive the SMS verification codes to showcase the MFA process without exposing any real employee or customer data, ensuring the demonstration is both effective and secure.
Streamline Your Workflow
There's no need to hunt for spare SIM cards or ask colleagues for their numbers. Our service provides virtual numbers on-demand, allowing you to get the verification codes you need instantly. This seamless process accelerates your testing and development cycles, enabling you to build, test, and deploy Okta policies more efficiently while maintaining a clean and secure development hygiene.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, our numbers are specifically designed for Okta registration. Okta requires a phone number for account creation, and our virtual numbers provide a reliable way to receive the SMS verification code.
Yes, you can. SMSFAST allows you to rent multiple virtual numbers, meaning you can use a unique number for each Okta account.
First, double-check that you've copied the SMS code precisely as it appeared in your SMSFAST account and entered it correctly into Okta. Also, ensure the number you used is still active and within its valid time frame.
If the issue persists, the number might have been flagged by Okta. In such cases, we recommend simply renting a new temporary phone number and repeating the registration process.
There may be a slight delay in network delivery at times. Please give it a minute or two.
- Request resend: On the Okta interface, look for the option to resend the code. This often prompts a new SMS message to be sent to your number.
- Ensure you are actively viewing the SMSFAST interface for the specific virtual number you rented, as the SMS message will appear there.
If the code still doesn't arrive after a resend attempt, the temporary number might be experiencing an issue with that specific service. We recommend canceling the current number (if no SMS has been received, you typically won't be charged) and renting a new disposable number from SMSFAST.
A number is valid for up to 20 minutes for SMS verification purposes. This ensures you have enough time to receive your verification code and complete the registration.
Yes, we provide real, non-VoIP numbers from local SIM cards. You can use to register on a variety of services.
No, you generally cannot reuse the same temporary number for Okta registration. It is designed for one-time SMS verification. If you need to register another account, you'll require a new code from a new virtual number.
Yes, it is safe. Using SMSFAST numbers for services like Okta significantly enhances your privacy and security. This allows you to avoid exposing your personal number.
