Abstract
A network authentication system and method is described for authenticating multiple profile accesses from a single remote device. A device remote from a web server, yet connected to the web server via, for example, the Internet, can allow multiple users to register their profiles within the device. The profiles are registered using a pre-existing user ID and password corresponding to, for example, the user's financial accounts. Multiple profiles and, specifically, the indicia of those profiles, can appear on the display of the remote device allowing each user the ability to select their own registered profile. Access to a profile is granted when the user enters their private PIN. Once the PIN is entered, the private information such as financial account information will be securely forwarded from the web server to the remote device.
