Abstract
A device attempts to access a resource that requires a multi-factor authentication (MFA), and receives, from an MFA server device, a challenge form. The device performs natural language processing on the challenge form to determine a first location of an input for a security code and a second location of a verify button. The device provides, to an email server device, a request to access emails associated with a user of the device, and receives access to multiple emails associated with the user. The device processes the multiple emails to identify an MFA email in the multiple emails, and identifies a security code in the MFA email. The device provides the security code at the first location, and selects the verify button at the second location. The device provides the security code to the MFA server device, and receives information indicating whether the device is authenticated.
