Okta

Okta, Apple, and Jamf now offer a unified, Apple-native approach to identity and access on macOS. By combining Apple Platform SSO (PSSO) with Okta Device Access and Jamf for Mac, organizations can deliver a secure, passwordless login experience that starts at the macOS login window and extends across every app and resource a user touches.

Apple PSSO brings modern authentication directly into the operating system, letting users sign in with biometrics like Touch ID or Apple Watch. Okta Device Access binds that login to Okta’s identity engine, enforcing adaptive MFA and passwordless access from the moment a device wakes up. Jamf for Mac ensures each device is properly configured, compliant, and continuously monitored, so identity and security policies remain in sync throughout the device lifecycle.

Together, this stack strengthens security by removing passwords, evaluating device posture in real time, and using shared signals from Jamf Protect and Okta Identity Threat Protection to make risk-based access decisions. IT gains a more automated environment where onboarding, app provisioning, and macOS account creation flow seamlessly through integrated Okta and Jamf workflows.

For users, the experience is simple and frictionless: a single Apple-native login unlocks the Mac and their apps, with fewer prompts and no password resets. For organizations, the combination of PSSO, Okta Device Access, and Jamf for Mac reflects the future of macOS identity—fully aligned with Apple’s direction, built for scale, and trusted by modern enterprises.
