Setting up Okta Fastpass to work with Google Chrome
NOTE: Do not install Okta Verify from the App Store. It must be installed through the Managed Software Center.

Let’s set up Okta Fastpass.
Okta FastPass provides a quick, easy and secure way to sign in and helps protect you from phishing.
On your MacBook, click the Okta Verify app that appears in the top right corner of your screen.
Next, click on Open Okta Verify to open it, and click Sign In
Enter login.block.xyz as your organization’s sign-in URL, then click Next.
Enter your username and password, then click Sign In.
When prompted for additional verification, insert your YubiKey and tap the metal contact to authenticate.
NOTE: Biometrics (Touch ID) are preferred when using Okta FastPass. If you do not enable/use biometrics on your Block-issued device you will be prompted for another factor (password) when using Okta FastPass.
If you opted-in for Touch ID, you will see the above screen. If you skipped Touch ID, please move to the next step:
