We sincerely apologize for any impact this incident has caused to you, your business, or your customers. At Okta, trust and transparency are our top priorities. Outlined below is the RCA summary for a recent incident where a third-party provider or downstream service experienced an issue that impacted the Okta service. We are committed to implementing improvements to the service to prevent similar occurrences. Detection and Impact: Okta detected an increase in customer support tickets regarding email delivery issues. Customers using custom email domains routed through Proofpoint experienced email delivery deferrals. During this period, affected end users were unable to receive system-generated emails, including One-Time Passwords (OTPs), account activation emails, password reset emails, factor enrollment emails, and other automated notifications. Root Cause Summary: Third-party provider Proofpoint experienced a service disruption, causing issues with email deliverability. When Okta services attempted to send emails to recipient domains whose MX records pointed to Proofpoint's infrastructure, the delivery attempts failed due to connection errors, resulting in deferred delivery. Okta's email sending infrastructure operated normally throughout the event. Remediation Steps: Okta Engineering monitored service telemetry and confirmed that email delivery returned to normal pre-incident baselines once Proofpoint restored stability to its infrastructure. Preventive Actions: Okta is defining automated alerting thresholds for email-bound and deferral rates to decrease detection time and updating runbooks to allow faster diagnosis of downstream provider disruptions.

Outlined below are the facts regarding this incident. We are committed to implementing improvements to our services to prevent future occurrences. We recognize that this maintenance ran beyond its originally communicated window and that our status updates during that extension did not keep customers informed in a timely way. We apologize for this; improving it is part of our preventative actions below. Detection and Impact On July 22, 2026, at 5:15 AM PDT, Okta Workflows in our North America region (FL1 cell) began experiencing issues that affected Workflows users across US Cells 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, and 11. During this time, some workflow executions failed or ended prematurely, and users encountered errors loading the Workflows Console. Additionally, some app connections stopped working, requiring users to manually reauthenticate to restore functionality. Root Cause Summary The issue occurred during a planned system upgrade. A defect in a third-party vendor's software caused the upgrade to run significantly longer than expected. While migrating to a new datastore system, a communication failure between system components prevented the service from returning to its normal state within the expected window. During this period, the Workflows Console did not degrade gracefully when the underlying data store was unavailable; instead, it surfaced errors directly to users. In addition, app connections whose credentials could not be refreshed during the disruption were left in a failed state and were not automatically refreshed, which is why some errors continued after the upgrade completed, until the affected connection was reauthorized. Remediation Steps The third-party vendor confirmed the cluster stabilized at 8:34 AM PDT. Following stabilization, Okta Engineering recovered affected services to clear stale configuration caches. Any customers who experienced OAuth token refresh errors during this period were required to manually reauthorize any app connections. Full functionality was restored by 9:33 AM PDT. If you're still affected: manually reauthorize the affected connection credentials in the Workflows Console (see KB: Okta Workflows: Cell Migration Expected Behaviors and Workarounds). Workflow executions that failed during the window can be re-run using your normal process; contact Okta Support if you'd like help identifying affected executions. Preventative Actions To prevent similar incidents from occurring, Okta has taken the following steps. We have enforced a fleet-wide hold on all further datastore engine migrations until our third-party vendor deploys a fix for the confirmed defect and confirms it is safe to proceed. We are also updating the Workflows Console to fail fast and recover automatically when infrastructure is temporarily unavailable, ensuring users see a reconnecting state rather than raw system errors. In parallel, we are adding direct automated monitoring and alerting for cluster-convergence failures to ensure faster detection during maintenance windows. Finally, we are improving how we communicate during maintenance that runs long, including a more timely status page and progress/completion updates. For questions about Workflows reliability or roadmap, your Okta account team can help.

Outlined below are the facts regarding this incident. We are committed to implementing improvements to the service to prevent future occurrences of this incident. Detection and Impact: On July 13, 2026 at 1:01 PM PT, Okta internal monitoring alerted our team to elevated errors in the EMEA Preview Cell environment. During this period, all customers in the EMEA Preview Cell environment were impacted, experiencing authentication failures and service slowness. Administrators and end users may have encountered "Internal Server Error" messages and other errors when attempting to sign in or access Okta services. Root Cause Summary: The incident was triggered during a scheduled service upgrade. A misconfiguration caused the EMEA Preview Cell cluster to inadvertently receive an incorrect version of a critical infrastructure routing component. This update broke internal networking routing, which prevented communication between otherwise healthy infrastructure components. Because requests could not reach the core application, it resulted in widespread service errors and authentication failures. Remediation Steps: Okta's engineering team identified the issue and immediately began deploying the previous, stable version of the routing configuration. Following the rollback, engineers systematically restarted the affected services (including gateways and proxies) to restore internal connectivity. These actions successfully addressed the issue, and customer impact was fully mitigated by 2:20 PM PT. Preventative Actions: We are refining our operational processes to enhance service stability. This includes ongoing work to improve auto detection and monitoring capabilities, helping us identify and address potential issues more effectively.

Detection and Impact: On July 7th, 2026, at 1:01 PM PDT, Okta internal monitoring and customer reports alerted our team to issues with users accessing Workflows on the Okta cell OK14 in North America. During this period, customers on FL14 may have experienced HTTP 500, 503, or 504 Gateway Timeout errors when navigating to Workflows from the admin portal or attempting to log in to the Workflows Console via SSO. Existing sessions may have errored out intermittently. Scheduled and on-demand workflows, inline hooks, and webhooks may have experienced errors and timeouts. Additionally, in-flight executions experienced timeouts. Root Cause Summary: This incident occurred during the planned deployment of release 2027.07.0 to the FL14 cell. In the course of the deployment process, a service pod responsible for executing schema updates was terminated prematurely. This early termination led to unexpected, long-lived database connections, which ultimately caused connection exhaustion on the cell's primary database. Remediation Steps: Upon receiving alerts and customer reports, the team began diagnostics at 12:44 PM PDT. By 1:30 PM PDT, they isolated and removed the service pod performing schema updates. This allowed the database connections to clear, restoring full service by 1:45 PM PDT. Preventative Actions: To prevent future occurrences, Okta is committed to strengthening our infrastructure stability and enhancing our monitoring capabilities. We are currently implementing strategic improvements to our deployment processes and alerting systems to ensure faster detection, response and greater resilience across our services.

Outlined below are the facts regarding this incident. We are committed to implementing improvements to the service to prevent future occurrences of this incident. Detection and Impact: On June 22nd, 2026, at 2:08 PM PDT, Okta internal monitoring alerted our team to errors in the EU environment. During this period, administrators and end users may have experienced intermittent 500 Internal Server Error and 429 Rate Limit responses when attempting to access Okta services. Root Cause Summary: The incident was triggered by an unexpected scaling down of the application cluster during scheduled maintenance of the environment. This change accidentally overwrote the custom capacity settings for several of our applications. This caused the system to automatically revert to its lowest default capacity, drastically reducing the amount of user traffic it could handle simultaneously. As a result, the remaining servers were immediately overwhelmed by the normal volume of user requests, leading to system slowdowns, errors, and "too many requests" blockages for our customers in the impacted cell. Remediation Steps: Okta's engineering team identified the root cause issue at 2:44 PM PDT. The team mitigated the issue by scaling up resource capacity, completely stabilizing service health back to normal levels by 2:48 PM PDT. Preventative Actions: In order to prevent similar incidents from happening again, Okta is currently reviewing the following: - Strengthen guardrails by improving our validation tools and multi-environment review processes to automatically detect and flag unexpected server capacity changes before they're applied. - Accelerate system monitoring by implementing enhanced monitoring thresholds to instantly detect and report infrastructure capacity drops before they can impact end users. - Optimize failover protocols by auditing critical alert paths for maximum reliability while establishing a clear, structured communication plan for when automated backup systems are triggered.

We are continuing to monitor the third-party email service provider's progress toward a resolution. At this time, we have not received an estimated time for recovery (ETR). If you are attempting to sign in and have configured alternative MFA factors (such as Okta Verify, SMS, or Security Keys/Biometrics), we recommend using those options to avoid delays associated with email delivery. Our engineering teams remain on standby to verify service restoration the moment it begins. We will continue to provide updates as soon as the impacted provider shares new information.

We're continuing to track the ongoing service disruption with the third-party email provider. We appreciate your patience while we await the provider's resolution of the root cause. We'll post our next update in 90 minutes or as soon as we have a significant change in status.

The third-party email provider has identified the root cause as a service infrastructure issue within the North America region. They are currently implementing load-balancing configurations to stabilize the environment. While recovery is underway, users may continue to experience intermittent delays or failures in receiving emails. We are monitoring the provider's progress and will provide another update as they move toward full resolution.

The third-party provider continues to see improvements across their impacted North American infrastructure. While our internal systems remain healthy, our team is on standby to validate the restoration of all external dependencies. We will provide a final update once the provider confirms that their services have fully returned to normal operations.

The third-party provider has confirmed that a fix has been successfully deployed. A root cause analysis (RCA) will be posted here within ten business days. We sincerely apologize for the impact this had on you and your users.

Following is the RCA summary for a recent incident where a third-party provider or downstream service experienced an issue that impacted the Okta service Timing: Incident start: January 22, 2026, at 10:55 AM PST Incident resolved: January 22, 202,6 at 7:50 PM PST Detection: The issue was initially identified through customer reports that they were not receiving expected email notifications. Okta Engineering confirmed the service disruption after internal monitoring indicated a high volume of deferred email delivery attempts to specific third-party domains. Impact: Customers across all Okta cells with email addresses hosted by Microsoft Exchange Online may have experienced intermittent delays or failures in receiving automated email notifications, such as Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) codes and enrollment links. Okta services remained healthy and attempted to resend deferred messages. Root Cause: Microsoft reports that it experienced a service issue within its North American data centers during a planned maintenance activity. As a result, emails sent from Okta to the affected provider resulted in “soft bounce” errors, indicating that the provider's servers were temporarily unable to accept the messages. Remediation Steps: To mitigate the impact on users attempting to sign in, Okta recommended using alternative MFA factors, such as Okta Verify, security keys, or SMS, to bypass delays associated with email delivery. Okta Engineering continuously monitored the third-party provider's recovery efforts and validated that mail delivery returned to baseline levels once the provider stabilized their environment.

We've identified that the service interruption is due to an issue with a third-party provider. We are actively working with the provider to ensure a swift resolution and are closely monitoring progress. We will provide further updates as more information becomes available.

We sincerely apologize for any impact this incident has caused to you, your business, or your customers. At Okta, trust and transparency are our top priorities. Outlined below are the facts regarding this incident. We are committed to implementing improvements to the service to prevent similar future occurrences. Detection and Impact: On December 14, 2025, at 3:01 a.m. PST, Okta detected an issue that prevented email delivery for customers using custom email domains. This affected end-users' ability to receive emails for Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), password resets, registration activation, account lockout notifications, and other notification emails, such as rate-limit notifications for administrators. Root Cause Summary: Okta has determined that the issue was caused by an unintended configuration change on our Mail Transfer Agents (MTAs). This change incorrectly routed emails from custom domains without proper DMARC sender authentication. As a result, email service providers rejected the emails, causing the delivery failures. Remediation Steps: Upon detection, Okta's engineering teams immediately began diagnosing the delivery failures. After identifying the incorrect routing, we updated the configuration to ensure emails were sent through the appropriate authenticated channels. Normal email functionality was fully restored after the updated configuration was applied. Preventative Actions: Okta is taking several steps to prevent a recurrence of this issue. We are enhancing our monitoring and alerting for email services and improving our configuration management tools to add further safeguards. Duration (# of minutes):1140
