Abstract

Various systems, methods, and programs are provided that facilitate access to a secure application. In one embodiment, a method is provided that includes encrypting at least one authentication sequence in a computer system using a network identifier as an encryption key, and storing the encrypted at least one authentication sequence in a memory accessible to the computer system. Next, the encrypted at least one authentication sequence is decrypted using a second network identifier as a decryption key, the second network identifier is procured after storing the encrypted at least one authentication sequence. Thereafter, an expedited login task is performed to access the application with the at least one authentication sequence if the decryption of the at least one authentication sequence is successful.
