What is the status of an Okta account after activation if the user does NOT click the activation email link?

Once an Okta account is activated, it typically enters a status of "Pending User Action" if the user does not click the activation email link. This status indicates that the account is technically created and ready but has not been fully activated by the user’s action of clicking the link to finalize the setup process.

The "Pending User Action" status serves as a reminder for users to complete the activation, which is crucial for accessing their account and utilizing the features within the Okta environment. If the user does not take this necessary step, the account remains inactive and does not allow for sign-in or use of Okta services until the activation link is clicked.

In contrast, the other statuses, such as "Active," "Password Expired," and "Password Reset," imply conditions where the user has already taken specific actions or has encountered issues that require resolution, which would not be applicable in this scenario where activation is incomplete.
