For ease of use, you are encouraged to use the Okta Verify app to authenticate when logging into your ACE account. This is recommended over the SMS option for speed and convenience.
The Okta Verify app does not track you or take any data from your device.
Your experience may differ slightly from the steps outlined below as our systems are continuously being improved. The main process is the same.
If you have any questions or run into any issues, please contact the SOM Help Desk for assistance.
