Okta Multi-factor Authentication (MFA)
Okta is the Single Sign-On system used by Cabrillo to allow you to use Gmail, Self Service, and other applications, and to keep your account secure. After entering your username and password in an Okta-secured site, you must authenticate with a separate security method:
- Phone - enter a code sent to you from a text message or phone call (using either your Cabrillo desk phone or your mobile phone)
- Okta Verify - approve sign-ins from a notification sent to the Okta app on your phone
- Google Authenticator - enter a code generated from an application on your phone
- YubiKey - Plug a small USB device (obtained from Cabrillo IT) into your computer and touch the embedded sensor to authenticate
Account settings and additional security methods
-
Cabrillo IT highly recommends adding multiple security methods (also known as authentication factors). For example, if your mobile phone is damaged or lost, you could use your desk phone or YubiKey to access your Cabrillo account. If you don’t have access to any other authentication factors, you won’t be able to sign into your account.
-
You can add and change security methods, change your password, and view other account information in your Okta dashboard.

In the upper-right corner, click on your username, then Settings in the dropdown menu.
