Enable App Protection

Add an additional level of security to the Oracle Mobile Authenticator (OMA) app by using an app PIN, by using biometrics such as Touch ID or Fingerprint, and by using Screen Protection to protect the app.

App PIN protection requires a PIN to unlock the OMA app before you can generate a one-time passcode (OTP) or approve a notification. Biometric protection requires Touch ID or Fingerprint verification to unlock the App before you can generate an OTP or approve a notification. Screen Protection, enabled by default, prevents OMA App content from being captured by screen recording.

The OMA app doesn’t support biometrics using a Windows device, and Touch ID with the OMA app is only supported with iOS version 8 and higher.

  1. To enable an app PIN:
    Your application may require you to set up a PIN when you enroll.
    1. Launch the OMA app, and then tap the menu icon in the upper-left corner.
    2. Tap App Protection.
    3. Tap to enable PIN or Touch ID protection for the OMA app.
    4. Enter your PIN at the prompt, enter it again to verify, and then tap OK. The next time that you access the OMA app, you are prompted to enter your PIN.
  2. To enable Biometrics:
    When you initially enable Touch ID or Fingerprint, you are prompted to set your PIN if you haven’t. If you have set your PIN, you are prompted to enter your PIN first before enabling Touch ID or Fingerprint.
    1. Launch the OMA app, and then tap the menu icon in the upper-left corner.
    2. Tap App Protection.
    3. Tap to enable Touch ID protection for the OMA app.
    4. Enter your PIN at the prompt.
    5. Enter your PIN again to verify and tap OK.
    The next time that you open the App, you are prompted to use your fingerprint to gain access to the OMA app.
  3. To disable Screen Protection:
    Screen Protection prevents OMA App content from being captured by screen recording (iOS only), AirPlay (iOS only), or Screen Mirroring and is enabled by default. Screen protection is available in iOS version 11 and higher.
    1. Launch the OMA app, and then tap the menu icon in the upper-left corner.
    2. Tap App Protection.
    3. Tap to disable Screen Protection for the App.
