# Using freeotp with OKTA
![FreeOTP application](freeotp.jpeg)
FreeOTP can apparently be used with OKTA, even if Google Authenticator 2FA method
has not been added by your admin. It requires a little dance though.
1. Replace `jdoe@example.com` by your okta account email.
2. Replace `18c5…927` by whatever you want (most likely a useful comment)
3. Secret is the one you get from OKTA when:
1. You pretend you have downloaded the Okta Verify application
2. Click on “I cannot see/use the barcode”
3. Key is the third option, under manually enter the key.
4. Leave the rest by default.
5. Generate an OTP on FreeOTP and use this 6-digit number as confirmation that
you indeed have activated Okta Verify
After it accepts it, you should be good to go.
Okta may try to force you to use one more step to verify some email it sends you
and that Okta Verify app should read. You should be able to avoid that step
by clicking on verify later.
Let's see how long this works…
