Abstract
A system and method for managing security credentials of a user are disclosed. The method includes establishing a connection with a local web browser hosted on a user device. The method also includes receiving a request for accessing a web application on the local web browser hosted on the user device. The method also includes determining whether current web page associated with the web application on the local web browser requires authentication of the user. Further, the method includes determining a password policy. Furthermore, the method includes authenticating the user on the web page using pre-stored user credentials based on the determined password policy. Additionally, the method includes routing the web page of the local web browser to the web application via an intermediate web browser. Also, the method includes providing access of the web application to the local web browser based on privileges associated with the user.
