==Okta Mobile App==
 
'''Do not use a web browser to access Okta on your mobile device.''' Instead, use the mobile applications for [https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/okta-mobile/id580709251?mt=8 iPad/iPhone] and [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.okta.android.mobile.oktamobile Android] devices. Both apps are free.
 
With the mobile app, users can access the applications in their Dashboard and reset their Okta passphrase.

::*Please note that the mobile application has been a little inconsistent in our testing. It does not always work correctly for all applications. We hope it will be improved in future versions.
