    For more information on configuring authentication for mobile devices, see Set up OAuth.

    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 and Identity and access management.
