Macbook Setup

After clicking Enroll on the Remote Management screen the Okta login screen will appear:

Enter your username, then enter your newly created password, and click Sign in

NOTE: Do not select Sign with FastPass, this will not work and needs to be setup at a later stage.

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!

Choose a strong password to unlock your MacBook. While it is strongly recommended to use the same password as your Okta account, you may choose a different one if preferred. To avoid confusion, we will refer to this as your Mac/Laptop 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.

NOTE: It is strongly recommended to enable Location Services, as some Block applications require accurate time settings to function properly.

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.

NOTE: 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 be prompted to choose between a Light or Dark desktop theme. If needed, you can change this 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).
