Abstract
The aspects disclosed herein are directed to systems and methods for employing multi-factor authentication for the transfer of goods or information.

Claims12
A method for providing multi-factor authentication at a client to access a server via an authentication process, comprising:
- receiving, via the server, a command indicating an application is opened;
- providing, via the server, an application login;
- generating, via the server, a random number based on a one-time password (OTP) created at the server;
- receiving, via the server, the random number from the server;
- receiving the OTP from the server via a communication technique independent of the client;
- disabling a primary interface device associated with the client prior to the authentication process timing out;
- prompting, via the client, a request to enter the OTP;
- mapping the entered OTP into a client generated random number;
- determining whether the random number from the client generated random number matches the server generated random number mapped to OTP;
- and
- allowing access from the client in response to the matching being affirmative, wherein an application employed to convert the random number is provided via the server, and generated simultaneously with the generation of the OTP.
