Abstract
An approach for receiving a request for an authentication code for presentation in an authentication user interface, wherein the request is from a relying party and wherein the authentication user interface is presented by the relying party at a first device. The approach further involves transmitting the authentication code to the relying party. The approach also involves authenticating a user with respect to the relying party by determining that a second device associated with the user has read the authentication code from the authentication user interface of the first device, wherein the second device is a previously authenticated device.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving a request for an authentication code for presentation in an authentication user interface, wherein the request is from a relying party and wherein the authentication user interface is presented by the relying party at a first device;
- transmitting the authentication code to the relying party;
- and
- authenticating a user with respect to the relying party by determining that a second device associated with the user has read the authentication code from the authentication user interface of the first device, wherein the second device is a previously authenticated device.
An apparatus comprising a processor configured to:
- receive a request for an authentication code for presentation in an authentication user interface, wherein the request is from a relying party and wherein the authentication user interface is presented by the relying party at a first device;
- transmit the authentication code to the relying party;
- and
- authenticate a user with respect to the relying party by determining that a second device associated with the user has read the authentication code from the authentication user interface of the first device, wherein the second device is a previously authenticated device.
A system comprising:
- an authentication platform configured to receive a request for an authentication code for presentation in an authentication user interface, to transmit the authentication code to a relying party, and to authenticate a user with respect to the relying party by determining that a second device associated with the user has read the authentication code from the authentication user interface of the first device, wherein the second device is a previously authenticated device;
- and
- a relying party platform configured to send the request to the authentication platform and to present the authentication user interface at a first device.
