Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention are directed towards a computer-implemented method of detecting multi-factor authorization. The method includes detecting a user entering security credentials for a client application via a keypad. The method further includes determining that the user is using a single sign-on method of authentication method based upon a cadence of keystrokes used to enter the security credentials. The method further includes storing the security credentials in memory.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method for multi-factor authentication detection, the method comprising:
- detecting a user is entering security credentials for engaging a client application via a keypad;
- determining which of a single sign-on method for authentication or multi-factor method for authentication that the user is using based upon a cadence of keystrokes used to enter the security credentials;
- and
- storing the security credentials in memory based on the determination of which of the single sign-on method or multi-factor method the user is using.
A system for multi-factor authentication detection, the system comprising:
- a processor communicatively coupled to a memory, the processor configured to:
- detect a user is entering security credentials for engaging a client application via a keypad;
- determine which of a single sign-on method for authentication or multi-factor method for authentication that the user is using a single sign on method of authentication method based upon a cadence of keystrokes used to enter the security credentials;
- and
- store the security credentials in memory based on the determination of which of the single sign-on method or multi-factor method the user is using.
A computer program product for detecting multi-factor authentication, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to:
- detect a user is entering security credentials for engaging a client application via a keypad;
- determine which of a single sign-on method for authentication or multi-factor method for authentication that the user is using based upon a cadence of keystrokes used to enter the security credentials;
- and
- store the security credentials in memory based on the determination of which of the single sign-on method or multi-factor method the user is using.
