Okta Certified Professional Practice Test

The default Global Session Policy in Okta is designed to maintain a consistent and secure environment for user authentication across the organization. The primary factor, which typically refers to the primary method of authentication (like password, factor authentication, etc.), is a core component of this policy. Administrators have control over numerous aspects of user authentication and session management; however, the primary factor is fundamentally tied to how sessions are initiated and maintained globally. Editing the primary factor goes against the intended uniformity and security measures that the default Global Session Policy provides. The ability to make changes to this factor is restricted to ensure that security protocols remain intact and minimize the risk of compromising user accounts. While administrators can modify other elements of session policies, such as timeout settings, session lifetimes, and various other conditional settings, the core structure—and particularly the primary factor—remains standard and unmodifiable to safeguard the integrity of the broader authentication framework. Therefore, editing the primary factor is not permissible for the default Global Session Policy.
