## Review summary

Users find the Okta Browser Plugin convenient for accessing their Okta dashboard and services, especially in academic and work environments. However, major issues include the lack of support for Firefox container tabs, causing sign-in and session inconveniences, keyboard shortcut conflicts, and opening all links in new tabs without an option to reuse current tabs. Additionally, the plugin appears outdated by requesting obsolete authentication methods such as a PIN, reducing its usability and causing frustration among users.

### Pros

- Makes accessing Okta and related services more convenient.
- Provides a quick mirror of the Okta dashboard for easy navigation.
- Useful for university and work-related Okta usage.

### Cons

- Lack of support for Firefox container tabs; all shortcuts open in the default container regardless of context.
- Keyboard shortcut conflicts and non-functional shortcuts reduce usability.
- Does not unify single sign-on sessions across containers; requires re-authentication repeatedly.
- Opens links in new tabs by default, leading to tab overload without an option to open in the current tab.
- Outdated login prompts (like PIN request) that no longer align with Okta's current authentication approach.
