Okta is so lame no wonder is so popular among corporate mediocrity.

Out of interest - what makes you say this? I'm not disagreeing, just want to understand the general (and seemingly commonly held) belief that they suck.

As far as SaaS SSO providers go, I think they're pretty cool. But all the breach related news lately has me wondering what the best alternatives are. You sound like you would have opinions.

Not really Okta's fault here, just so happened that Okta was a client of this benefits company. Still, not a good look for Okta.

Does that matter, though? The message I get is that Okta isn't good with security, and they're not good at choosing vendors who are good with security.
