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.

Ideally you'd find a reference to oktapersonal.com on okta.com, the other way around hardly matters. Only the help center seems to be doing so at the moment: https://support.okta.com/help/s/okta-personal/about-okta-per...

No links found on okta.com. Altough of course signing up on personal.okta.com is safe (as safe as it is to use okta anyways, they don't have the best track record exactly)

I didn’t set it up yet, so can’t tell. Is this just a personal version of their janky “sso” where they store passwords and their chrome add-in pastes it into the login prompt?

IE, not actual Okta-proper that’s IDP doing SAML or OIDC auth?

Perfect. Can't wait to bring it our next family CAB meeting. Ever since going enterprise my families profits are through the roof. ITIL literally has saved my personal relationships and finances. I realized both of my children were net loss figures for the next 18 years so we dropped them off at the fire station and our P&L numbers have never been better.

Also turns out being PiMP certified has brought in tons of money, which my wife was against until I showed her the statements from our Call Girls (1099 contractors)

There's a pretty interesting interview with the chief information security officer, customer identity at Okta on Decoder this week:

This is interesting to me in only one respect.

The fact that they think the personal market is lucrative enough to break into while already being successful in the enterprise makes me sad that 1Password couldn’t be content with the personal market and instead decided it was enterprise or bust, much to the chagrin of many of their personal client base.

I’ve used Okta for work and I don’t love it.

Does anyone love it? I buy it but it seems really expensive and not a fantastic UX. It’s weird how expensive and complicated this is and I’m surprised there aren’t more competitors because the cost should be rather low.

“Know and love” is assuming a lot.

Feel like they should have rebranded and just launched a separate product.

I really dislike Okta. I hate using it, I hate that I have to use it, and it's extremely annoying to use.

Bold to assume I love Okta.

yeah that's gotta be...one of the more interesting marketing taglines i've ever heard.
