A method and system are disclosed for installing a software application, such as a one-time password application or token, on a mobile computing device. The method includes creating an account for a user on a network, the account having a user name, a user e- mail address and an address of a mobile computing device of the user. The mobile computing device of the user is preferably a mobile telephone, a PDA or another mobile computing device with wireless connectivity. An authentication server generates a Shared Secret, encrypts it using a Secret Key and transmits the encrypted Shared Secret without the Secret Key to a deployment server where it is stored. The deployment server generates a unique deployment URL and transmits it to the authentication server, which transmits a registration invitation message comprising the unique deployment URL to a computer terminal of the user. The user accesses a web page supported by the deployment server to accept the registration invitation. A message containing a unique download URL is then transmitted to the mobile computing device of the user, who sends a confirmatory request to install the software application. Data comprising the software application is transmitted from the deployment server to the mobile computing device of the user, for installation on the mobile computing device of the user. |
