  3. Passcode on Oracle Mobile Authenticator App

  4. Push Notification from Oracle Mobile Authenticator App

🔧 1. Restrict or Allow MFA Factors (Optional)

To control which factors users can use:

  • Go to Security Console

  • Navigate to User Categories

  • Select a user category

  • Click Two-Factor Authentication > Edit

  • Select only the desired authentication methods

  • Click Save and Close

Default Enabled Factors:

  • One-Time PIN over Email

  • One-Time PIN over SMS

  2. Click your user name/image in the global header.

  3. Select Set Preferences > Password > Manage Secure Verification.

  4. You’ll be redirected to Oracle Cloud Console.

  5. Click Enable Secure Verification.

  6. Choose a method (e.g., mobile app, email, FIDO, SMS).

  7. Complete the verification setup:

    • Mobile App: Use Oracle Mobile Authenticator (Push or Offline Passcode)

    • Email/SMS: Receive and enter the OTP
