Users are required to log in to an instance on their mobile device. Depending on how you
configure authentication for mobile devices, users may be required to enter additional
information.

For more information on configuring authentication for mobile devices, see [Set up OAuth](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=t_SettingUpOAuth&version=xanadu&pubname=xanadu-platform-security&ft:locale=en-US).  
Important:  
ServiceNow mobile apps support platform authentication using OAuth 2.0. Authentication mechanisms include multi provider SSO, MFA, LDAP, Local DB, and Digest. For more information, see [Mobile security](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/g3vM5fy3sSeliluV7Zx3ow "Learn about the security features of the ServiceNow mobile platform.") and [Identity and access management](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/N1KAcIEVfx_dAgJuWZRfbg "Learn about user authentication, third party authentication, and user session termination for mobile applications.").

Follow the instructions for using a third-party OAuth provider.
