Simplified and Safe User Authentication

摘要

Machines, systems and methods for authenticating against one or more access points, the method comprising: receiving data identifying an electronic device and destination information for forwarding a code to a user, in response to the user providing the destination information to a user interface prompt displayed on the electronic device when attempting to authenticate against an access point accessible via the electronic device; generating the code, in response to receiving the destination information and data identifying the electronic device; associating the code with the data identifying the electronic device; and forwarding the code in a message to a destination associated with the destination information, wherein the code is retrieved from the message when the message is received, receiving the code transmitted by way of the electronic device to an authentication server; and authenticating the user against the access point, in response to determining that the code matches related records.

1. A method for authenticating against one or more access points, the method comprising:
receiving data identifying an electronic device and destination information for forwarding a code to a user, in response to the user providing the destination information to a user interface prompt displayed on the electronic device when attempting to authenticate against an access point accessible via the electronic device; generating the code, in response to receiving the destination information and data identifying the electronic device; associating the code with the data identifying the electronic device; and forwarding the code in a message to a destination associated with the destination information, wherein the code is retrieved from the message when the message is received, receiving the code transmitted by way of the electronic device to an authentication server; and authenticating the user against the access point, in response to determining that the code matches records stored in a data structure based on knowledge of the association between the data identifying the electronic device and the code.
