Abstract
In an embodiment, at least one non-transitory computer readable storage medium includes instructions that when executed enable a system to: request, by an authentication logic of the system during a multi-factor authentication of a user of the system to obtain access to a first service, a token to be sent from a second system associated with the first service to a third system associated with the user; receive, in the authentication logic, the token from the third system without user involvement via a secure channel; and send the token from the authentication logic to the second system to authenticate the user. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
