Abstract

A technique for providing federated login to a password vault generates a master password for a federated user, renders the master password as multiple parts, and stores the key parts in separate entities. After successful authentication with an identity provider (IDP), a user's local machine receives the password parts and combines them to recreate the master password. The local machine then applies the master password to decrypt the password vault.
