Abstract
Techniques are provided for client-driven shared secret updates for client authentication. One method comprises, in response to a first authentication of a client by a server using a given shared secret, updating, by the client, the given shared secret to generate an updated shared secret and storing the updated shared secret with the server; and submitting the updated shared secret to the server as part of a second authentication of the client. The updating is optionally performed by one or more of a password vault and a browser extension. The client may randomly select the updated shared secret or compute the updated shared secret in a predefined manner. The server may evaluate whether the client stores the updated shared secret with the server in connection with the first authentication and implement one or more predefined steps when the updated shared secret is not stored with the server.
