Enroll a factor

You are now ready to enroll an additional factor for the user that you created.

• Authenticator
• SMS

Using the ID for the User that you created earlier, add a Google Authenticator factor for that User:

1. In Postman, open the Factors (Okta API) collection, and then the Factor Lifecycle Operations collection.
2. Select the Enroll Google Authenticator Factor request template. The request appears on the right.
3. In the request URL, replace the {userId} variable with the user ID that you saved in the last step.
4. Click Send to add the Google Authenticator Factor for your user. A successful request results in an HTTP status code of 200 and a JSON payload response.
5. Save the Factor ID value (id) from the response.
6. In the \_embedded object located at the bottom of the response, locate the _links object and then the href value of the qrcode property.
7. Copy this URL and open it in a new tab of your browser. A QR code appears. We use this QR code in the next step.

Next: Activate the factor
