You will be taken to the DBIS enrolment page where you can create a password that meets the security requirements. You will also select your security question and answer.

Click “Set up” next to each of the options and enter a password that meets the requirements.

Choose one of the standard security questions or create one of your own.

Once you have completed the password and security question setup you will be able to optionally configure the Okta Verify app to use as an alternative to your email when authenticating to DBIS.

Okta Verify is an app that you can download to your Apple or Android smartphone. It will allow you to receive a push notification to approve a sign in without needing to wait for an email code to be delivered. If you would like to take advantage of this click “Set up” and follow the on-screen instructions.

If you don’t wish to enrol for Okta Verify please click “Set up later”. All users are automatically enrolled for Email as a security method.

If you don’t choose to enrol Okta Verify then you will receive one time codes via email. All sign in attempts to DBIS must be completed within 5 minutes or it will time out. If your email delivery is delayed then this may impact your ability to sign in.
