Are you being forced to do 2 factor authentication? This may be your solution. The Okta login, even after saying to remeber this device, still may ask for the 2 factor authentication. This can feel very disruptive when you are trying to work, but then you have to pull out your phone. Currently, this is specifically for Iowa State University logins. Make sure to read the safety concerns detailed at the bottom of this page before using this.

Did you know that google authenticator uses a known algorithm? Check it out here . The point of this extension is to calculate the same codes that google authenticator is also calculating, and then give you the option to plop that code right into the 2 factor authentication input box. This extension utilizes WebAssembly and Rust.

Setup

You will want to setup google authenticator in okta for ISU. Make sure you it also setup on your phone as this extension doesn’t work for every login menu, and so you have a backup. (Don’t get excited, the key in the picture isn’t in use)

WARNING

For this extension to work, you have to give it the secret key that is given to you by okta when setting up 2 factor authenticator (that QR code you get). The extension stores this key in chrome’s storage which is just plain text, and so is not secure.
