Abstract
A method improves authentication of a user to login with a client device to a computer system. A mobile device reads an authentication code displayed on a display of the client device to extract a URL and a first session identifier (ID), searches a first account profile that includes a username and a first part password associated with the URL, transmits the first session ID and the first account profile to the gateway server, prompts a second mobile device to provide a second part password associated with the username to the gateway server to form a complete password, and authenticates the user to login to the computer system with the client device when the client device retrieves from the gateway server the username and the complete password.
