Macbook Setup

The Remote Management screen should indicate it is managed by Block Inc.:

Click Continue on the Remote Management screen to receive an Okta login screen:

Enter your username, click Next then enter your newly created password, and click Verify

Since you have already set up Okta Verify on your mobile device, you can now use it to authenticate in the next step:

On the next screen, click Set up later when asked to set up a Security Key.

After authentication, wait just a few moments while Remote Management initializes.

Once complete, you should see this prompt to create a computer account:

Your Full Name and Account Name will be pre-filled (the latter should match the username of your Block email address).

NOTE: The Account Name MUST match your Block username for proper configuration!

Select a strong password to unlock your MacBook. This does not need to be the same as your Okta password, but it can be if you wish. We will refer to this as your Laptop Password to differentiate it from your Okta password.

NOTE: Make sure you remember your password and do not rely on the password hint. The password hint is not shown when you are logging in.

Choose to enable Location Services, or set your Time Zone manually.

You will then be prompted to set up Touch ID. While this is optional, it will provide a seamless and easy login experience each day.

Please note that you will be asked for your Laptop Password periodically even if you have Touch ID setup (just like an iPhone), so don’t forget it!

You may also be asked if you wish to use a Light or Dark visual theme to your desktop. You can also make these changes later in System Settings.

After clicking through the remaining customization screens, you will arrive at the macOS desktop which will look similar to the above (perhaps with different wallpaper).
