I am not sure of what you are trying to achieve but just try to give some suggestions where you can try out on okta configurations:
Under Security,
Under Authenticators > Enrollment > Under Eligible Authenticators > Make sure Okta verify is at least - Optional or Required.
Under Authentication Policies > Rules > Edit Rules > Under “User must authenticate with” > Change to the options of what you need.
Under Global Session Policy > Edit Rules Pencil Icon (Not Edit for Policy) > Play around “Establish the user session with” or “Multifactor authentication (MFA) is”
Thank You! It was two things. I did not have MFA checked in the ‘Global Session Policy,’ and I never noticed that chrome cookies will bug out okta verify.
