Abstract
When a user attempts to access a first application installed on a user device, it can send an authentication request to an authentication server. The authentication server can assign a unique request token to the request and load a script to a component of the operating system executing on the user device that displays content within the first application. The script can cause a portal application to launch on the user device. The portal application can send a request to the authentication server on behalf of the user, including the unique request token and an access token stored by, or accessible to, the portal application. The authentication server can receive the request from the portal application and validate the request based on the unique request token and the access token. Upon validating the request, the authentication server can authenticate the user at the first application.
