Discussion

Requiring the use of non-phishable authenticators protects against brute force/password dictionary attacks. This provides a better level of security while removing the need to lock out accounts after three attempts in 15 minutes.

Check

From the Admin Console: 1. Go to Security >> Authentication Policies. 2. Click the "Okta Dashboard" policy. 3. Click the "Actions" button next to the top rule and select "Edit". 4. In the "Possession factor constraints are" section, verify the "Phishing resistant" box is checked. This will ensure that only phishing-resistant factors are used to access the Okta Dashboard.

If in the "Possession factor constraints are" section the "Phishing resistant" box is not checked, this is a finding.

Fix

From the Admin Console: 1. Go to Security >> Authentication Policies. 2. Click the "Okta Dashboard" policy. 3. Click the "Actions" button next to the top rule and select "Edit". 4. In the "Possession factor constraints are" section, ensure the "Phishing resistant" box is checked.
