as suspicious as the domain may look, it does link out to personal.okta.com for account creation. the privacy policy is also a link to okta.com.

despite the chatgpt reference, it appears to be a legitimate marketing domain for okta.

This is a hard no for me. Not even entirely that they were hacked multiple times, but how they dealt with it each time.

Identity providers are competing with passkeys now in non business/org settings, and there is only so much idp/SSO enterprise marketshare to fight over. Similar story with password managers (yes, yes, there will always be a market for folks who want to backup their passkeys to sovereign storage with a passkey manager, and that capability should exist, but your average user won’t; they’ll rely on iCloud/Google/Chrome storage, governance, and access controls for key material).

Haha not bad. I can see people for whom this is useful. For my part, though, I prefer Bitwarden because it's got open source implementations. And with passkey coming to it, I should be set.

Cool tool but a bit late, I think. Maybe if it were earlier before the M1 when 1Password and LastPass would freeze the page.

To add to that, the domain was registered only 6 months ago. However, the official okta docs have links that redirect to this new site:
