Abstract
Described embodiments provide systems, methods, non-transitory computer-readable medium for initiating one-factor or multi-factor authentication. A device comprising one or more processors and coupled to memory. The device can receive a request to authenticate a user to enable access to an application by the user. The request can originate from an Internet Protocol (IP) address external to a network hosting the application. The device can determine that a previous request to authenticate the user originated from the IP address and was approved based on successful completion of multi-factor authentication by the user. The device can provide, responsive to the determination, the user with access to the application using one-factor authentication instead of the multi-factor authentication.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a device, a request to authenticate a user to enable access to an application by the user, the request originating from an Internet Protocol (IP) address external to a network hosting the application;
- determining, by the device, that a previous request to authenticate the user originated from the IP address and was approved based on successful completion of multi-factor authentication by the user;
- and
- providing, by the device based on determining that the previous request to authenticate the user originated from the IP address and was approved based on successful completion of multi-factor authentication, the user with access to the application using one-factor authentication instead of the multi-factor authentication.
A device comprising:
- one or more processors, coupled to memory and configured to:
- receive a request to authenticate a user to enable access to an application by the user, the request originating from an Internet Protocol (IP) address external to a network hosting the application;
- determine that a previous request to authenticate the user originated from the IP address and was approved based on successful completion of multi-factor authentication by the user;
- and
- provide, based on determining that the previous request to authenticate the user originated from the IP address and was approved based on successful completion of multi-factor authentication, the user with access to the application using one-factor authentication instead of the multi-factor authentication.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing program instructions to cause one or more processors to:
- receive a request to authenticate a user to enable access to an application by the user, the request originating from an Internet Protocol (IP) address external to a network hosting the application;
- determine that a previous request to authenticate the user originated from the IP address and was approved based on successful completion of multi-factor authentication by the user;
- and
- provide, based on determining that the previous request to authenticate the user originated from the IP address and was approved based on successful completion of multi-factor authentication, the user with access to the application using one-factor authentication instead of the multi-factor authentication.
