Abstract
An approach is provided for using multifactor authentication to access multiple services. A determination is made that a user equipment has been authenticated for an access network. An identifier corresponding to the user equipment is received. An alias identifier is generated based on the received user equipment identifier for use in combination with a universal user identifier to authenticate a user corresponding to the user equipment for accessing a plurality of services via the access network.
