Okta Verify to Become Required MFA Platform

SHARE:

As part of an important security enhancement initiative, NASBA is updating its multi-factor authentication (MFA) process to better protect your accounts and information.

NASBA is transitioning away from SMS text messages and phone call one-time passcodes (OTP) as an MFA option, in favor of more secure authentication methods.

If you have not done so already, setting up a new MFA method will be required starting Wednesday, June 17 at 10:00 a.m. Central. Starting Thursday, June 17, 2026:

Okta Verify will be the required MFA platform.
Google Authenticator will also be available as an alternative MFA option.
SMS and phone call authentication methods will be disabled.

When you log in to your CPA Portal Candidate accounts, please enroll in Okta Verify or Google Authenticator.
