Abstract
A system and method is disclosed for authenticating a user using locally stored credentials. A website is configured to provide, to a web browser, a login page, including header information which informs the web browser that the website may accept an automatic login. In response to receiving, from the web browser, credential information and a request to login to the website, a login token having an expiration time is generated by an authentication server and returned to the web browser. The web browser provides the login token to an authentication address associated with the website, before the expiration time, to automatically login to the website.
