I tried to create a Developer account using my work email but for some reason I have not received the Verification email notice. To test a few things, do I have to have a developer account that is linked to my company ? Does my company have to set up a [company.okta.com](http://company.okta.com) with OKTA for me to test something, we are not sure if we will go that route with OKTA as we are a small company with limited budget I am trying to test SAML in an IDP Initiated scenario, and I was following a blog that asked to create a developer account, hence my questions. ---

Hello, You should be able to signup for a developer Org at [developer.okta.com](http://developer.okta.com) You might want to open a case with support so you can give them your email and they can check on the status. ---
