Access Service Consoles
This overview describes the ways that administrators and users can use the service consoles in conjunction with Oracle Identity Cloud Service.
Use the following sections to learn about key elements for each service console.
Sign In Page
Learn how to sign in, set, and reset your password.
When your account has been added to Oracle Identity Cloud Service, you receive an activation email instructing you to activate your account. Click the activation link, and then set your password.
If you forget your own password and can't sign in to Oracle Identity Cloud Service, you can reset your password using your user name. See Recover Your Account.
There are various ways that you can sign in and authenticate including email, passwordless authentication, and social accounts, If your administrator has configured Passwordless Authentication, you can choose to use it to bypass the standard web-form-based authentication using email or a mobile device to sign in. For more details, see Understand Passwordless Authentication.

My Apps
On the My Apps page, you can access all apps assigned to you.
You can sort these apps by their names or by the dates when they were granted to you. For organizational purposes, you can designate preferred apps as favorites for future easy reference and access. See Access My Apps for more information about the My Apps page.
Catalog
Use this page to request access to groups of which you want to be a member and applications that you want to use.
2–Step Verification
Use this page to enroll in Multi–Factor Authentication (MFA) in Oracle Identity Cloud Service.
When you sign in to Oracle Identity Cloud Service, you’re prompted for your user name and password, which is the first factor. You’re then required to provide a second type of verification. This is called 2-Step Verification. The two factors work together to add an additional layer of security in Oracle Identity Cloud Service by using either additional information or a second device to verify your identity and complete the login process.
See Manage 2-Step Verification from the My Profile Console for more information about the 2–Step Verification page.
