## Improved publisher verification details on OAuth consent screens

[Cloudflare Fundamentals](https://developers.cloudflare.com/fundamentals/)

Copy as Markdown| [View as Markdown](https://developers.cloudflare.com/changelog/post/2026-08-04-oauth-consent-shields/index.md)| [Agent setup](https://developers.cloudflare.com/agent-setup/)

OAuth consent screens now display a shield icon with explanatory text beneath the consent screen title. Each shield icon indicates who owns the application and whether its domain ownership is verified.

- **Green filled shield**: Cloudflare owns and manages the application.
- **Blue outlined shield**: A third-party application with verified ownership of its domain.
- **Amber filled shield**: A third-party application without verified ownership of a domain.

Domain verification only confirms that the application owner controls the displayed domain.
