What's my security image for?
Your security image gives you additional assurance that you are logging into your Okta Cloud Area Network, and not a fraudulent website. If you don't recognize your security image then do not enter your username or password.
Read below on how to detect whether or not you have arrived at a fraudulent website.
How do I know I'm not at a fraudulent site?
Check your URL
Look at the URL in your browser's address bar. Your URL should look like this:
https://campbellsoup.okta.com
Make sure the part after campbellsoup says okta.com, also known as the domain. The domain lets you know you are accessing your organizations secure site.
Look for a lock icon in your browser
Depending on the browser you use, you should see a lock icon either at the bottom (Internet Explorer, Firefox) or top (Chrome, Safari). The lock icon represents a security protocol used to protect your organization's site called Secure Sockets Layer (SSL).
I see a big question mark image. What is that?
You'll see a question mark image in the following situations:
- You are a new user and have never created your Okta account
- You recently cleared your browser cookies
- You accessed your organization's sign-in page using a different browser or computer
- The name before .okta.com — also known as the subdomain — is incorrect
