# Island Browser
> How to install and sign in to the Island Enterprise Browser for your Mercor project
Island is the secure browser some Mercor projects use for work. Signing in takes two email addresses: you start with your **@mercor.expert** email, then finish by logging in with your **personal email and Okta password** — the same ones you use for Okta. **Okta Verify** is required to complete the sign-in.
On Island's welcome screen, enter your `@mercor.expert` email to get started.
When Okta opens, click **Back to sign in** and log in with your personal email and Okta password — the same login you use everywhere else for Okta.
You'll finish by approving the login with Okta Verify — either a push notification or a 6-digit code. You can't get into Island without it.
If you haven't set up Okta Verify yet, you'll be asked to do it during sign-in. Have the Okta Verify app on your phone ready before you start.

## Install Island
If Island isn't on your computer yet, install it first. This short walkthrough shows how:

## Sign in to Island
Watch the full sign-in flow, then follow the steps below:
On the **Welcome to Island** screen, type your `@mercor.expert` email into the box and click **Sign in**.
Okta will open on a password screen — but this isn't the account you want to use yet. Click the **Back to sign in** link near the bottom to go back to the main sign-in page.
On the Okta **Sign In** page, type your **personal email** in the Username box — this is your Okta login — and click **Next**.
Type your Okta password and click **Verify**.
When asked to verify it's you, choose **Get a push notification** (or **Enter a code**) and approve the request from the Okta Verify app on your phone. Once you approve it, Island finishes loading and you're signed in.
It's easy to miss: after you enter your `@mercor.expert` email, Okta lands on a **password** screen for the wrong account. Don't type your password there — click **Back to sign in** first, then log in with your personal email.

## About Okta Verify
Okta Verify is a free app from Okta that confirms it's really you signing in. It's **required** for Island.
* If you've already set up Okta Verify (for example, during your Okta onboarding), you'll simply approve the push or code when Island asks.
* If you haven't set it up yet, you'll be prompted to add it during sign-in. Install **Okta Verify** from the App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android), then scan the QR code that appears on screen to enroll.
Install the Okta Verify app before you start signing in, so it's ready the moment Island asks for it.

## FAQs
Both, in order: start with your **`@mercor.expert`** email on Island's welcome screen, then finish by logging in with your **personal email** (your Okta username) once you're on the Okta sign-in page.
No. That first password screen is for the wrong account. Click **Back to sign in**, then enter your personal email and password on the Okta sign-in page.
Yes. Okta Verify is required to sign in to Island. If it isn't set up on your account yet, you'll be asked to add it during sign-in and can't finish logging in without it.
Yes. If you already enrolled Okta Verify before (for example, during your Okta setup), you won't be asked again — just approve the push notification or enter the 6-digit code.
You'll need to set up Okta Verify again on your new phone. Go to your contract → **Okta Account** step → **Reset Password**, which resets your MFA so you can re-enroll. See [Use Okta](/how-to/okta-access) for the full steps.
Double-check that you started with your `@mercor.expert` email, clicked **Back to sign in**, and then used your personal email and Okta password. Also make sure Okta Verify is installed and set up on your phone. If it still won't work, email [support@mercor.com](mailto:support@mercor.com) with a short screen recording.
