Enrolling in Okta FastPass (Sign-in Button Flow)

This guide covers enrolling through the new "Sign in with Okta FastPass" button on the sign-in page. For laptop or virtual machine-specific steps, see Enrolling Okta FastPass on macOS, Enrolling Okta FastPass on Windows, or Enrolling Okta FastPass on Windows 365 (W365). For a general explainer, see the Okta FastPass Overview for Samsara Users.

Overview

This guide walks you through enrolling your device in Okta FastPass directly from the Okta sign-in page, using the Sign in with Okta FastPass button. Once enrolled, you can sign in to Samsara apps with a single Touch ID or Windows Hello prompt, with no password or push notification required.

🚫 Do not use this guide on a Chromebook, Linux, or shared device. The sign-in button enrollment requires the Okta Verify desktop app, which is only supported on Samsara-managed macOS and Windows devices.

• Chromebook (ChromeOS) and Linux are not supported. Okta Verify desktop cannot be installed on them, so FastPass cannot be enrolled this way.
• Do not enroll on a shared or kiosk device. FastPass is tied to a specific device and account, and enrolling on a shared device can lock other users out of their accounts.

Before You Start

Make sure you have:

• Okta Verify installed on the device you're enrolling:
  • On macOS, install it via Managed Software Center.
  • On Windows, install it via Company Portal.
• Touch ID, Windows Hello, or a device PIN configured.

Step 1 — Enroll using the Sign-in Button

1. Go to https://samsara.okta.com in your browser. On the sign-in screen, click Sign in with Okta FastPass.

   

2. Okta Verify opens and shows "Add an account to access Okta Dashboard." Click Add Account.

   

3. A browser tab opens to verify your identity ("Connecting to Okta Authenticator").
   • If your Okta session is already active, this completes on its own.
   • If you're prompted to Verify with Security Key or Biometric Authenticator, approve with an authenticator you've already enrolled (passkey, security key, or biometric) and follow the on-screen prompt.

4. Okta Verify returns to the front and shows "Enable Touch ID or password confirmation" or Windows Hello or password confirmation." Click Enable, then confirm with Touch ID  or Windows Hello (or enter your device password).
   This step is required. Your account needs Touch ID, Windows Hello, or password confirmation enabled to complete enrollment.

   

5. You'll see the "Account added" screen with a green checkmark confirming Touch ID or password confirmation is enabled.

   

6. Switch back to the browser tab that says "Your identity is verified — You can close this browser tab," and close it.

Important: Keep Okta Verify installed on your device. Okta FastPass will not work if you uninstall the application.

Step 2 — Sign in using Okta FastPass

After enrollment, signing in takes a single tap.

1. Go to https://samsara.okta.com, or open any Samsara app.
2. On the sign-in page, click Sign in with Okta FastPass.
3. When prompted, confirm with Touch ID (macOS) or Windows Hello (Windows). You'll be signed in without entering your password.

Note: FastPass is enabled per device. If you get a new Samsara-managed laptop, repeat Step 1 on that device.
