Abstract

Examples are disclosed herein to implement remote authentication and passwordless password reset. An example server includes: at least one processor to forward executable instructions to a client device, the executable instructions, when executed at the client device, to cause the client device to: authenticate a user of an account based on a biometric authentication factor; obtain a local storage key by decrypting an encrypted local storage key with a cloud key obtained from a remote authentication server, the cloud key associated with the client device; decrypt a key bag with the local storage key, the key bag including a content encryption key and an encrypted credential encrypted with the content encryption key, the encrypted credential associated with the user; and decrypt the encrypted credential with the content encryption key to obtain a credential without the user supplying a master password associated with the account.
