A method of authenticating a user of an image forming apparatus connected to a host apparatus through a network, the method comprising:
- receiving, at the image forming apparatus, a one-time password (OTP) generating request;
- generating, at the image forming apparatus, an OTP according to the OTP generating request;
- receiving, at the image forming apparatus, an authentication request, from the host apparatus, comprising the OTP;
- and
- when the OTP received from the host apparatus matches the OTP generated according to the OTP generating request and absent a condition, approving, by the image forming apparatus, an access to the image forming apparatus.
An image forming apparatus configured to be connected to a host apparatus through a network, the image forming apparatus, comprising:
- a controller configured to generate a one-time password (OTP) according to an OTP generating request;
- and
- a communicator configured to receive an authentication request, from the host apparatus, comprising the OTP,
- wherein when the OTP received from the host apparatus matches the OTP generated according to the OTP generating request and absent a condition, the controller approves an access to the image forming apparatus.
An electronic apparatus, comprising:
- a transceiver configured to receive, from a second electronic apparatus via a first communication protocol, a first request and a second request;
- and
- a processor configured to produce a first password in response to the first request, to make a comparison between the first password and a second password included in the second request, and to control access to the electronic apparatus based on a result of the comparison and absent a condition.
