Techniques for time-based network authentication challenges are disclosed. In some embodiments, a system, process, and/or computer program product for time-based network authentication challenges includes monitoring a session at a firewall to identify a user associated with the session, generating a timestamp for an authentication factor associated with the user after the user successfully authenticates for access to a resource based on an authentication profile, intercepting another request from the user for access to the resource at the firewall, and determining whether the timestamp for the authentication factor is expired based on the authentication profile.
