This means that from time-to-time, when browsing the web on your Mac, you will see alerts that there is a 'Missing Plug-In', or requests that you install the Flash Player. I'm using Chrome and when I load the game it says that flash is being blocked. But if you click on the little plugin icon up in the google address bar, just left of the star (to bookmark things) at the very right end of the address bar, a little window comes up that allows you to run flash just this time. The fix to the issue is really simple. The problem is that the previous versions of Adobe Flash Player, which is needed by the majority of the sites is no. The Flash plugin is blocked on some sites by default The Flash plugin can cause security, speed and stability problems on some sites. In order to give you a safe, fast and stable browsing experience, Firefox automatically blocks Flash on some websites that potentially cause problems.

How the Okta Browser Plugin works
When end users start an app from their Okta End User Dashboard, a new browser tab opens to the app's URL. The plugin uses an encrypted SSL connection to obtain authentication information and other required information from Okta, and then applies that information to the page. The plugin does not store their credentials after authentication is complete.
To enhance security, the plugin only works with trusted and verified sites. If end users have not installed the Okta Browser Plugin but have one or more applications on their end-user dashboard that require it, they see a notification on the dashboard along with a link to install the plugin.
See Okta Browser Plugin: Security Features.
The plugin is updated frequently. End users are prompted to install the latest version if necessary.

What you can do with the Okta Browser Plugin
The Okta Browser Plugin provides the following functionality:
Automatically sign in to apps
If end users navigate directly to the sign-in page of an Okta-enabled SWA app, the Okta plugin automatically inserts their credentials and signs them in without further interaction.
We recommend that you enable this option for all your trusted SWA apps. This feature is a per-app setting and must be enabled individually for each app.

Automatically initiate an Okta sign-in
If end users are not signed into Okta and navigate directly to an application that is Okta-enabled, a pop-up banner appears with a sign-in button. When they attempt to sign in, an Okta window is launched and they can sign into the app without having to navigate to the Okta End User Dashboard.
Automatically fill in credentials on sign-in pages
If end users navigate directly to the sign-in page of an Okta-enabled SWA app, the pop-up banner provides an option to auto-fill their credentials if they have not enabled automatic app sign-in.
Automatically insert passwords on password-update pages
When end users are on a password-update page of an Okta-enabled SWA app, the pop-up banner can automatically insert their current password.
Update passwords
When end users change their password in an Okta-enabled SWA app, the plugin offers them the option to update Okta with their new password.
Quickly jump to Admin Console
For Okta admins, an Admin link is available in the Your Apps dialog when sign in to Okta. The link allows you to jump immediately to the Okta Admin Console.
Switch between multiple Okta accounts
Signed-in end users are prompted to trust or reject subsequent Okta accounts the first time they access those accounts. Over time, end users create an easily accessible list of their Okta accounts through the Okta Browser Plugin icon.

Prevent web browsers from saving sign-in credentials
You can prevent web browsers such as Chrome from saving your end users' sign-in credentials for Okta as well as for third-party apps that they access through the Okta End User Dashboard.
See Prevent web browsers from saving sign-in credentials.
