Trust a Device

When you access an app for the first time using your 2-Step Verification method from your computer or a device, you have the option to flag your computer or device as trusted. Trusted devices don’t require you to provide a second method of authentication each time that you log in (for a defined time period that is set by your administrator).

This feature is similar to the “remember my computer” option that you often see during authentication on many web sites. When you log in and provide your second verification method, select the Trust this computer for _ days check box. That device is then listed in the Trusted Devices section of the Security tab in the Oracle Identity Cloud Service My Profile console. See Manage 2–Step Verification from the My Profile Console.

If you choose not to trust the computer, you are prompted for 2-Step Verification each time that you log in from that device. You have the opportunity each time that you log in to trust the computer or device.
