Problem Statement
When a user's okta password is expired, Push verification fails with a cryptic JSON parse error:
Exception in thread "main" org.json.JSONException: JSONObject["factorResult"] not found.
at org.json.JSONObject.get(JSONObject.java:572)
at org.json.JSONObject.getString(JSONObject.java:859)

Solution
We can use the existing validateStatus method to validate the status of the json response for each poll response.
