Abstract
A method and system for authenticating access to a protected application are disclosed. For example, the method receives from a protected application a request by a user to gain access to the protected application. In one embodiment, the request contains an identification of the user and an identification of at least one media device of the user. The method then verifies the identification of the user and the identification of at least one media device of the user, e.g., via a database operated by a proxy server. The method then generates an access code if the identification of the user and the identification of at least one media device are verified. Finally, the method sends the access code to both the user and to the protected application.
