Abstract
In an example computer-implemented method, a password management (PM) 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 that is linked to the login computer and to the requested resource, and is transmitted to the login computer. The PM server receives, from a mobile computing device, a user ID and a value indicative of the session ID. If the user ID is not authorized to access the requested resource, the PM server transmits the vaulted credentials to the login computer or the mobile computing device only if an approval message indicative of a confirmation code is received from a manager computing device authorizing release of the vaulted credentials for the user ID.
