What is a functionality of the Okta Browser plugin?

The functionality of the Okta Browser plugin includes monitoring when a password is changed in an Okta-enabled Secure Web Authentication (SWA) application. This feature is critical because it allows users to seamlessly manage their login credentials. When a password change occurs, the plugin captures that new password and updates it within the Okta platform. This ensures that users maintain access to their applications without the need to repeatedly enter new passwords manually.

This capability enhances user experience by providing a streamlined approach to managing multiple credentials across different services, ultimately reducing sign-in issues that may arise from outdated or forgotten passwords. It also helps in maintaining a secure connection as all password changes are tracked and managed centrally by Okta.

Other options do not accurately represent the primary functionalities of the browser plugin. Enhancing password complexity requirements involves policy settings rather than the browser plugin's direct functionalities. While automatic updates of applications when passwords change would be an ideal feature, the browser plugin's specific role is to facilitate monitoring rather than to handle mass updates. Preventing unauthorized access attempts is generally managed through broader authentication protocols rather than being a direct function of the browser plugin itself.
