Abstract

In one example, a network device may be configured to authenticate a user based on a first pre-shared secret associated with a first login request as a condition to granting the user limited access. The network device may be configured to determine whether a received second request for the user is associated with an additional level of access. The network device may be configured to, in response to determining that the second request is associated with the additional level of access, authenticate the user based on a second pre-shared secret as a condition to granting the user the additional level of access.
