Abstract
Methods, devices, and systems are provided for user authentication on a gateway device to perform steps of, receiving a user request communicated via a local area network (LAN) from a user system or device connected to the LAN, checking whether the gateway device is operating in a disconnected operational mode in response to the user request, selectively initiating a user authentication protocol when the gateway device is operating in the disconnected operational mode, wherein the user authentication protocol uses secret information stored in a user hardware token uniquely assigned to a particular user, authenticating the administrator user using the user authentication protocol that requires administrator secret information stored in a master hardware token connected to a system or device operated by the administrator user, and selectively authenticating the particular user based at least in part on results of the user authentication protocol.
