Abstract
Mobile push user authentication for native client based logon is described. In one method, an authentication server receives from a user interface at a native client a password for native-client based logon to a remote server. The method determines whether a portion of the password includes a one-time password (OTP). When the password includes an OTP, the method validates the remaining portion of the password as a first authentication factor, and validates the OTP as a second authentication factor. When the password does not include an OTP, the method sends a mobile push notification to a registered device, validates the password as the first authentication factor, receives a response to the mobile push notification, and validates the response to the mobile push notification as the second authentication factor. The native-client based logon is authorized when the first authentication factor and the second authentication factor are validated.
