Why would this be available from an api?
Anecdotal but I’ve encountered a lot of this lately. It seems people have taken to dropping the term “API” arbitrarily into posts and conversations to signal knowledgeability with recognizable lingo, often resulting in nearly plausible but not quite accurate technical descriptions.
TBF I bet it works most of the time, due to the ubiquity of interfaces in software, and I may only notice it when they feel emboldened by the success of their first attempt.
I'm not an expert but this seems likely fake, it just feels real because they really do let those accounts say whatever
Definitely fake. I've worked in IT, and I know Okta's offerings. They do multi-factor and SSO stuff, basically password management stuff on steroids along with any regulatory compliance checklist stuff.
They do not rent out cloud infrastructure for other companies to use.
