Abstract
The invention is directed to methods and systems for managing access to secured data. In particular, the invention provides a three-fold security layer to manage access to a virtual application by verifying a user device, user credentials, and a physical identifier. Each of the user device, user credentials, and the physical identifier is associated with a user and identification of each is required to grant access to the virtual application. A user may enter, from an authorized user device, user credentials, such as a user name and password. The user may then physically contact the physical identifier and the user device in order to automatically generate a unique token required to automatically gain access to the virtual application.
