I’m unable to access my developer account [dev-55805116.okta.com](http://dev-55805116.okta.com) as an admin, getting: 403 Access Forbidden You don’t have permission to access this page Normal user access and authentication has worked, but I’m unable to do any admin tasks. Please help! Thanks! ---

The same thing happened to me. As far as I can tell, Okta implemented an MFA requirement which makes free developer inaccessible due to security requirements. The only way around it is to create a new account, which btw can’t be based on a personal email account. ---
