Abstract

A method and system are provided for authenticating accounts on a remote server. A set of unique accounts is requested from an authentication database. After the set of accounts is requested, existing data associated with the set of accounts, such as a web site, may be deleted from the remote server. The accounts are then checked out of the authentication database by retrieving a credential associated with each account in the database. The accounts are logged into the remote server using the retrieved credentials and then logged out. After logging in, the accounts maybe authorized using an authorization database.
