We use Okta internally.
As much as I hated it at first, we don't choose any provider that doesn't support single sign on and multiple users.
You can choose a password policy that is different (stricter) than the downstream services.
One more good thing about it is that you have all of your services in one place and you know when you need to change password on one of them or all of them. You can do it with a nice dashboard.
This made managing access a much nicer experience for us and I can imagine will minimize things like that from happening.
- mrguyorama 9y agoOkta's Firefox addon is incompatible with multi-process mode and that kills responsive design mode in Firefox's developer tools. This is remarkable for a change that's been a long time coming. Their site also erroneously says that the apps "require" the addon, but if you click the apps without the addon, it just takes an extra click to confirm the logon. I haven't been very impressed.
- avitzurel 9y agoI don't actually use Firefox so never experience what you are saying. I do believe you though.
- dopamean 9y agoI used okta at my last job and IIRC there was a breach with HipChat that necessitated us resetting our okta passwords as well. It turned out that using okta for HipChat meant that okta just set your HipChat password to whatever your okta password was. It did not leave me feeling very secure.
- avitzurel 9y agoYeah. For us, we have a review process internally for every 3rd party we use. We figure out the auth process and how secure is it etc...
