Question

Why is Okta sending me a notification that I signed on from Virginia?

Context

Using a ND Virtual Computer Lab

Answer

You may receive an email notification from Okta alerting you when you sign in from a new computer or a new browser. Since the Virtual Computer Labs are from a hosted environment, the geographic location may vary and will not be from the Notre Dame campus. If you are using Okta Verify and the Push option when you log in, Okta may identify this as a high-risk login, and require you to respond with additional information to complete the login process.  See this article for details.
