Abstract
According to an example computer-implemented method, a password management server receives an access request message from a login computer at which a resource requiring vaulted credentials has been requested. The access request message identifies the requested resource and the login computer. A session identifier (ID) is generated for enabling release of the vaulted credentials. The session ID is linked to the login computer and to the requested resource. The session ID is transmitted to the login computer. Responsive to receiving a value indicative of the session ID from a mobile computing device, the password management server transmits the vaulted credentials to the login computer or to the mobile computing device.
