Abstract
A host machine has a web browser. A user of the host machine also has a mobile device. A time-based, one-time password (TOTP) authentication scheme leverages a plug-in associated with the browser to automatically inject a received TOTP code into an element of an HTML-based TOTP authentication page, and to programmatically submit the HTML form (e.g., by mimicking the “click to submit” button on the TOTP form). Typically, the TOTP code is obtained following a successful completion of a push notification interaction between a cloud service, which stores TOTP shared secrets that are used to generate the TOTP codes, and the user of the mobile device.
