Abstract
A system for two-way authentication using two-dimensional codes is provided herein. The system includes a memory and a processor coupled to the memory. The processor is to receive a request from a remote device to access a web resource and to generate a two-dimensional code to be sent from the remote device to an authentication service to authenticate the web resource. The two-dimensional code includes an authentication request identifier. The processor is further to receive an authentication credential from the remote device, the authentication credential being obtained from the authentication service, and to authenticate the user of the remote device to the web resource using the authentication credential.
