How can you unlock multiple user accounts at once?

Unlocking multiple user accounts at once can be efficiently achieved by using the bulk action feature within the Okta interface. Selecting "Unlock People" in the More Actions menu allows administrators to simultaneously unlock multiple accounts, streamlining the process instead of handling each account individually. This is particularly useful in scenarios where many users have been locked out due to unsuccessful login attempts or other issues.

The other methods available do not facilitate the bulk unlocking of accounts. For instance, using the reset password function typically requires individual user interactions, as password resets do not directly equate to unlocking accounts. The Directory > People menu primarily displays user information and settings rather than offering bulk management features. Creating a new group for the users does not address the immediate issue of unlocking their accounts, as group management pertains to organizing users rather than directly modifying their account statuses. Thus, using the "Unlock People" feature is the most effective way to manage multiple user accounts.
