Securing Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications with Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

Updated June 2026: Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is Now Native in Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications

Overview

Multi-Factor authentication (MFA) is now a native security capability in Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications for environments using OCI Identity and Access Management.

This is an important change from earlier implementation patterns, where MFA was commonly enforced through federation with a separate identity provider. While that approach remains relevant for customers using corporate Single Sign-On (SSO) or specific identity architectures, many Fusion environments can now use the MFA capabilities available directly through OCI Identity and Access Management.

Oracle’s readiness documentation explains when MFA is available, how it applies to new and existing environments, and how administrators can manage available MFA options for users through Security Console.

Administrators should review the Oracle documentation to understand:

• Which Fusion environments are on OCI Identity and Access Management
• How MFA applies to new environment families
• How the Fusion Identity Upgrade affects existing environments
• Which MFA methods are available to users
• How corporate SSO changes where MFA should be enforced

For customers using corporate SSO, MFA should continue to be managed through the corporate identity provider. For users signing in directly through OCI Identity and Access Management, native MFA can provide an additional layer of protection beyond passwords.

Customers should treat MFA as part of the standard security baseline for Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications and review the official Oracle readiness documentation for the latest behavior, requirements, and configuration details:
