Abstract
Disclosed embodiments relate to systems and methods for implementing secure and multi-factor authentication for computing resources. Techniques include accessing at least one portion of identity data for a computing resource; providing the at least one portion of the identity data to the computing resource; identifying network address information unique to the computing resource; identifying a request, from the computing resource, to perform an action requiring an access token; provisioning the network address information unique to the computing resource, for use in transmitting the access token to the computing resource; and verifying both the at least one portion of the identity data and the network address information unique to the computing resource.
