I used Okta multiple years back for work but I haven't worked there in years and don't have any credentials - and when I press next, nothing even comes up to try logging into anything! Is there a way for DropBox to overdrive this to get me into my computer?

    It isnt a Dropbox error - its Okta that is blocking it. Thats the app thats causing the issue I'm afraid. 

    What happens if you try Cancel? Uninstall Okta?
