Abstract
Multifactor authentication is a method to secure data and accounts and to prevent unauthorized access. A first factor can be information that the user knows, such as a username and password combination. A second factor can be something that the user possesses, such as a token generator or a trusted device. The present invention enables a user to present multiple authentication factors through a single biometric input using stored credentials and tokens generated by a secure element.
