Authentication bypass infrastructure

A computer executable method for controlling secure access to multiple protected services, the method comprising extracting computer readable instructions stored on a non-transitory medium and executing the computer readable instructions on a processor, wherein execution of the computer readable instructions by the processor:

• triggers a password generation application to autogenerate a dynamic password, the dynamic password for accessing any of a plurality of the multiple protected services, said autogenerating being in response to a signal derived from an authentication token;
• detects a request for access to a target protected service;
• based on the request, accesses a webpage hosting the target protected service;
• identifies a username input field and a password input field on the webpage;
• submits the dynamic password into the username input field and the password input field;
• in response to identifying the username input field and the password input field, triggers activation of a secure application program interface (“API”) accessible via the webpage;
• and
• in response to activation of the secure API, uses the authentication token to authorize access to the target protected service using a target user profile.

An authentication system for controlling secure access to a first protected application, the authentication system comprising:

• a processor;
• a memory;
• an authentication token stored on a mobile device within a digital wallet;
• a second protected application that runs on the mobile device that is secured by a username and password;
• and
• an application program interface (“API”) that:
• detects activation of the first protected application on the mobile device;
• uses credentials associated with the second protected application to access the authentication token stored in the digital wallet;
• and
• uses the authentication token to access a protected service provided by the first protected application, said protected service being one of a plurality of multiple protected services that are accessible using the authentication token.
