Oracle Mobile Authenticator is linked using a QR code to configure multifactor authentication. The closing section shows a short test of the OCI Generative AI chat in Chicago with a Grok model.
Start
The process of creating and activating an Oracle Cloud Free Tier account is introduced. The walkthrough begins on Oracle’s official website.
Personal details and email verification
The country, first name, last name, and email address are entered for registration. The initial check and email verification are shown before continuing with account setup.
Password, account name, and region
A password is set and the account or tenancy name and region are selected. These details prepare access to the Oracle Cloud environment being created.
Address and card verification
The address and phone number are entered, and the card verification required for registration is completed. The video shows this step before confirming account activation.
Oracle Cloud account activation
The start of account usage is confirmed, and the environment is allowed to finish provisioning. The video shows the email that enables the user to continue accessing Oracle Cloud.
First sign-in to Oracle Cloud
The tenancy name is entered, followed by the user’s email and password. The walkthrough moves from registration to console access.
MFA with Oracle Mobile Authenticator
Multifactor authentication is configured with Oracle Mobile Authenticator. The account is linked using a QR code, and sign-in to the tenancy is completed.
