What is the purpose of the Okta Password Policy?

The purpose of the Okta Password Policy is to authenticate users within the Okta system, ensuring that only authorized individuals have access to protected resources. By establishing specific parameters around password creation, such as complexity, length, expiration, and reuse, the policy enhances security and helps mitigate unauthorized access to sensitive information. This mechanism is critical in maintaining the integrity and confidentiality of user accounts and their associated data.

The other options do not align with the primary function of the Okta Password Policy. While managing network security can be an overarching goal for IT policies, it is not specifically within the scope of password management. Enforcing data loss prevention focuses more on protecting data from being improperly accessed or shared, which falls outside the singular function of password policies. Tracking user engagement involves analyzing how users interact with systems and applications, which is unrelated to the direct management of user credentials.
