My company will only give us new laptops that are preinstalled with Okta’s management system.

I am grandfathered in to an old MacBook that has absolutely no management software on it, from the “Early Days” when there was no IT and we just got brand new untouched laptops.

They offered me an upgrade to an M1/M2 pro, but I refused, saying that I wasn’t willing to use Okta’s login system if I have my own personal passwords or keys anywhere on my work computer.

Since that would hugely disrupt my work, I can’t upgrade. Maybe I can use incidents like this to justify my beliefs to the IT department…
