This sounds familiar, but I can't remember the exact details. I think I leaned towards "Yes" in a similar practice question.

I recall reading that once an account is deleted, the username is locked for a certain period. So maybe "No" is the right choice?

I'm not so sure about this one. I feel like we practiced a question where it was stated that usernames can't be reused.

Hmm, I'm not so sure. Okta must have a good reason for allowing this. Maybe it's for efficiency or something? I'll have to look into it more.
